Morning David Lammy! Could we please open and pay for these 63 closed courtrooms and hold rape trials in them? Instead of restricting jury trial for thousands of people? If not, why not?
πToday, 10 December 2025, 63 out of the 516 Crown courtrooms in England & Wales will not be sitting. That's 12% of them. #courtstats #CS10122025
