Criticism marred the Courts and Tribunals Bill, which got the nod to move on to the next phase on Tuesday, 10 March. Despite passing after receiving a majority of 101 votes (304 votes to 203), some Labour MPs did not hide their dismay over the results.
Among those who heavily criticised the reforms in the bill was Labour MP for Warrington North, Charlotte Nichols. Waiving her right to anonymity, she criticised the bill, which included plans to limit trial cases that would likely involve a prison sentence of three years or more.
