Speeches by Hamilton.

“Okay. Barry, you are the last person I will ask. Then I will shut up.”

“Lord Hutton, would you see a problem with the planning aspect of this?”

“Do you think it would go through quite easily?”

“Okay.”

“Good morning, all. Paulette at last. Okay, this is a really quick question, and then I am going to shut up. My question is particularly for Lord Hutton. It regards the Australian precinct model that you recommend, which uses development to subsidise public healthcare buildings. Is that a realistic model for England? Wh…”

“Okay. I am going to go across to you, Dr Hellowell. What are your views? I think it is a good plan. That precinct-type plan is a way forward for the UK, especially if you want to keep people at home for a longer period. How do you think it would fit in with the estate models and PFI?”

“Would you see a problem with the planning aspect of this—getting planning from local authorities?”

“You are asking the wrong questions.”

“You are asking my question. I was going to put it out there.”

“Just to press you because you are the research man, would you perhaps say a pilot would be a good way to go? So, look at an area where a pilot would be adequate, and then see if there would be some issues around the legal, financial or planning aspect. Sometimes, do you not think we jump into these things too quickly a…”

“The Minister is making some important points, but I must bring her back to what she said about the fairness of jury trials, and about people feeling that they are fair. At the moment, many minority groups and working people of a lower socioeconomic level feel that if a trial is moved to be heard by just a judge and mag…”

“Q Thank you all, and can I add to everybody’s remarks about the powerful testimonies that are coming across today? Following on from Joe’s question, my question is for you, Farah. The Bill’s impact assessment states that repeal alone is unlikely to materially change the outcomes. As the chief exec of Women’s Aid, what …”

“Q Good afternoon, Doug. I have a really quick question. I am just going to be brutally honest. I am a woman of colour—a black woman. Within our communities in the UK, there is a fear that if we move towards a judge-only trial, it would create major problems. How has the Canadian system ensured that defendants from such…”

“Q Good morning, all. I want to ask a quick question to the former Victims’ Commissioner. Vera, based on your many years of experience as Victims’ Commissioner and working alongside the justice system, do you think structural reform is needed at this stage? Dame Vera Baird: It is absolutely imperative. There is no way o…”

“Thank you. You have explained that perfectly.”

“Q Thank you for allowing me back in, Chair. My question is for Professor Katrin Hohl. Let me start by saying that justice delayed is absolutely justice denied. As has been talked about, there is a lot of distrust in the system. With your vast experience in criminology and criminal justice, could you give us two clear r…”

“Is the plan time-limited? Do you have a requirement to get this done within x amount of time?”

“You are having the conversations, but how are the actions being taken?”

“Good morning, all. I have a few questions, based predominantly on integration and improving delivery. Let me preface that by saying that the Education Committee did a great deal of work and a lot of effort was put into looking at how you strengthen collaboration and partnership between agencies, and what they came up w…”

“Ingrid, I am going to ask you the very same question.”
