Removing controversial reforms only way to get courts bill passed by MPs, allies of PM-in-waiting say.
Andy Burnham is preparing to remove controversial plans to curb jury trials from David Lammy’s courts bill, allies have said.
Sources close to the prime minister-in-waiting told The Telegraph that he was drawing up proposals to strike out the sections of the Courts and Tribunals Bill that relate to scrapping jury trials.
This would allow the legislation to continue its passage through Parliament, without the risk of it getting voted down by MPs and peers who oppose the changes to jury trials.
