Justice Committee concerned Govt has delayed response to its report on Covid & the Criminal Law due to political controversy about Downing Street parties. Delay sends damaging message to Parliament & public about value it places on parliamentary scrutiny. https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/22841/documents/167750/default/
Initial #census2021 results on the population by age and sex have now been published for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. 97% of households responded overshooting the @ONS target by 3%. Read our Insight: http://ow.ly/i9Q350JKNVf

Here is a cracker of a question by @neill_bob. It’s the sort of question you ask in court when you know very well that the other side has no facts at all to support their case.
Invoking doctrine of necessity is a high bar to clear & must be evidenced. We don’t yet have that evidence before us. Departing from an international obligation is of such significance that the Govt should bring the evidence to House of Commons & put proposed departure to a vote.
This appalling attack on the #Kremenchuk Shopping Centre with more innocent lives lost, demonstrates yet again that Russia is unrelenting its indiscriminate attacks on civilians in 🇺🇦 Ukraine. This war is insane - it needs to end. https://twitter.com/telegraph/status/1541431938321375235
🚨 BREAKING: Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that a Russian missile strike hit a crowded shopping centre in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk.
More than 1,000 people were inside at the time of the attack, he said.

In the Chamber debating the #NIProtocolBill. The application of the doctrine of necessity requires the legal test being met but also the evidential base.
We need to see that evidential base so that we can form a judgement on whether proportionality and necessity are met.
Read Sir Bob's article for @politicshome on the legality of the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill here. 👇https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/government-must-explain-legality-of-northern-ireland-protocol-bill-to-parliament
Important contribution from @neill_bob during today’s Northern Ireland Protocol Bill debate, where he asks @trussliz about the evidential basis upon which the government has decided the Bill meets the tests of proportionality and necessity.
Tory MP @neill_bob - who penned an op-ed last week questing the legality of the #NIProtocolBill: "The application of the doctrine of necessity requires the legal test being met but also the evidential base...Can she tell us when that will be available to the House?"
To mark today's #ArmedForcesDay, when we show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community, the Mayor led a flag-raising ceremony at the Civic Centre earlier this week.

Hear what @neill_bob has to say about fixed costs in #clinicalnegligence claims - if the Chair of the @CommonsJustice opposes it why are @DHSCgovuk still pushing it/leading on it at all? #wrongfocus @scilorg @AvMAuk https://twitter.com/scilorg/status/1540225480133148673

This was quite the moment! https://twitter.com/NeilGarratt/status/1539917410286948353
I've just asked the Mayor what he suggests people in Croydon and Sutton do if they can't afford his £12.50 daily ULEZ charge, can't afford a new car, and can't get to work by public transport.
Labour's response was that it's "only" about £3k for a compliant car - just buy one.

CILEX thanks Sir Bob Neill MP @neill_bob for this blog, written as a reflection on the importance of Justice Week 2022, about the value of law, both economically and as a social good. Read below: https://twitter.com/thebarcouncil/status/1539554917685383171

An apposite day for @thebarcouncil to publish my #JusticeWeek2022 blog on the rule of law.
Given our illustrious role in forging the rule of law, we too often take it for granted. Constant investment and nurturing are required to overcome complacency.

.@neill_bob says it’s vital that, with the Social Housing (Regulation) Bill having been introduced, #localgov brings its expertise to bear in the forthcoming discussions – with 3 areas key to the conversation.

Introducing the NI Protocol Bill does not itself breach international law, but it's politically very risky, while the exceptionally wide powers included are hard to justify. The Govt has a lot of important questions to answer.

Sir Bob Neill MP, Chair of @CommonsJustice, was among the speakers at a parliamentary reception today launching #JusticeWeek2022. The Bar Council has teamed up with @TheLawSociety and @CILEXLawyers in a bid to improve access to justice.
Sir Bob Neill becomes one of the first Tory MPs to publicly criticise the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill
He writes in @TheHouseMag that it is legally dubious and politically risky
Here's why he has a hard time buying government's "necessity" argument
