When conducting research in the House of Commons Library, I found an article written by my hon. He is now perhaps the only lifer in Britain who did not receive a trial by a jury of his peers. He should be the last. That is evidence. People should not be sitting in jail without having a jury trial in serious cases.
Someone is far more likely to get a fair trial under the military than the civilian system.
Is the hon. Trial by a jury of peers for the most serious offences is a fundamental tenet of British civilian law. There is also an important human rights element. People might well take their cases to European Court of Human Rights and claim that their rights had been infringed by not receiving a jury trial. We shall see what happens in that respect.
