Speeches by Juss.

“Absolutely. I have had discussions with Sir Brian Leveson on a number of occasions, and he confirms that no one measure will achieve the reforms we need; we need to take a number of measures, of which the restriction in jury trials is just one, to achieve what we are trying to achieve. I also welcome the additional saf…”

“Yes, the measures are all about getting timely justice, which is why I will support the Bill. This Labour Government inherited a system on the brink of collapse, and in which cases like my constituent’s are all too common. We must all recognise that action is sorely needed, and I welcome the Government’s commitment to …”

“I was recently contacted by a constituent who was raped more than three years ago. Her initial court date was set for February last year, more than two years after the offence. She prepared for that day practically, mentally and emotionally, only for the hearing to be pushed back by 24 hours at the last minute. That ha…”

“We already have judges who make decisions on cases where children are taken away from parents, so does the hon. Gentleman not consider those to be serious cases? Some 90% of cases are dealt with by magistrates, so does he say that justice is not achieved in those cases?”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that the restriction of jury trials in some cases is just one among a whole range of measures, and that in order to protect really vulnerable victims—for example, rape victims, who will have a jury trial—we need to make the process quicker? That necessarily means that, for some other cases, th…”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Base 25, a dedicated charity supporting young people with special educational needs and disabilities, to formally launch its new youth café provision in my constituency. Among the vital services it provides is the Government-funded WorkWell programme, which supports young people …”

“10. What assessment the Church of England has made of the potential impact of the conflict in Sudan on the Christian population in that country.”

“Earlier this year I attended the Open Doors world watch list launch, at the request of my Wolverhampton West constituents, who are gravely concerned about the situation in Sudan. The event confirmed the extreme levels of persecution against Christians in that country, with reports of forced conversions, physical punish…”

“Last weekend, the Wolverhampton Wanderers player Tolu Arokodare was subjected to appalling racist abuse on his social media profiles and three other premier league players shared similar experiences. I wrote to the Minister for Online Safety, my hon. Friend the Member for Vale of Glamorgan (Kanishka Narayan), this week…”

“The National Bureau of Economic Research has said that, because of Brexit, the economy is 6% to 8% smaller than it otherwise would be. At the first Black Country Chamber of Commerce meeting I went to, most of the businesses were talking about the adverse effects of Brexit. Would my hon. Friend agree that the step forwa…”

“This week is Heart Unions Week, hence the badge on my lapel instead of the Wolves badge that I normally wear. Last Saturday, I was with the Wolverhampton, Bilston and District Trades Union Council handing out information about joining a trade union to passers-by in Wolverhampton city centre. Will the Leader of the Hous…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship again, Dr Allin-Khan. I thank the hon. Member for Chesham and Amersham (Sarah Green) for bringing this issue to the House. I also thank my hon. Friend the Member for Washington and Gateshead South (Mrs Hodgson) for her tireless commitment to this campaign and for her leade…”

“Hello and good afternoon. I am Warinder Juss, MP for Wolverhampton West. I am a member of various APPGs and a member of the GMB trade union executive council. Relevant to today’s discussion, I worked as a solicitor for Thompsons trade union law practice for over 30 years before becoming an MP, specialising in personal …”

“It is about getting that community support.”

“How do we remove the barriers to accessing online legal services for those who are digitally excluded?”

“We are talking about vulnerable people and people with low legal capability who are in need of help. What more should we be doing to safeguard those people from misinformation?”

“You said that some of these tools are not effective at all.”

“I have a question on accessing online information, Dr Wintersteiger. Those who are unable to afford access to specialist advice will go to digital legal information and automated consumer tools. How effective are these tools in enabling those with low legal capability to recognise their legal problems and get advice so…”

“As you said, judges try to take the case through with a litigant in person. It takes longer and, therefore, it adds to the court delays.”

“In my constituency, almost one in five households have been living in fuel poverty, struggling to heat their homes this winter. I welcome the Government’s commitment to lifting 1 million more households out of fuel poverty by 2030, which will have a significant impact on my constituents. Will the Minister please outlin…”
