Dear Sir Bob

I write to you in your capacity as Chair of the Justice Select Committee.

 

I have just read the third in the series by The Secret Barrister, Nothing But The truth.

 

I was shocked at the dilapidated state of the justice system as portrayed.  That the books are not exaggerating the problem for political ends is indicated, for example by the current strike action by barristers and the threatened action over the Common Platform, which presumably was intended to be a sticking plaster for the pitiful state of the superstructure  of the courts system.

I have previously written to you about the appalling state of the prison system.

I now realise that, whether one is sentenced to custody, or not, may have little to do with the administering of justice.

Yours sincerely
