Crime and Courts Bill — Schedule 13 — Diversity of Judicial appointments — 13 Mar 2013 at 18:30

The majority of MPs voted to require the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that those appointed to judicial office are reflective of the community and to ensure shortlists for consideration by the Judicial Appointments Commission include a range of persons reflective of the community.

MPs were considering the Crime and Courts Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:

  • Amendment proposed: 100, page 224, line 42, at end insert
  • ‘Each of the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice must at all times engage in a programme of action which is designed—
  • (a) to secure, so far as it is reasonably practicable to do so, that appointments to listed judicial offices are such that those holding such offices are reflective of the community in England and Wales;
  • (b) to require the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, so far as it is reasonably practicable to do so, to secure that a range of persons reflective of the community in England and Wales is available for consideration by the Judicial Appointments Commission whenever it is required to select a person to be appointed, or recommended for appointment, to a listed judicial office.’

The clause in Schedule 13 part 2[2] to which the above would have been added had the amendment not been rejected stated:

  • In Part 6 of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (other provisions relating to the judiciary) after section 137 insert— “137A Encouragement of diversity
  • Each of the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales must take such steps as that office-holder considers appropriate for the purpose of encouraging judicial diversity.”

Had the amendment not been rejected the above text would have been added to Schedule 13 of the Bill
