Judicial Appointments Commission

EDM number 2125 in 2006-07, proposed by Keith Vaz on 16/10/2007.

That this House welcomes the statement by the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice that there will be a review aimed at improving the operation of the Judicial Appointments Commission; believes that the creation of the Judicial Appointments Commission has been a great and beneficial constitutional reform; notes the Lord Chancellor's recognition that the Commission has not been functioning to a good enough level; and hopes that the review will propose measures which will remove any further delays in the appointment of judges and further ensure transparency and fairness in its appointments process.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
