Order, order, and welcome to this afternoon's session of the Justice Select Committee in which the members of committee will be questioning, taking evidence from the Attorney General, Lord Hermer, and the Solicitor General, Ms. Ellie Reeves.  So thank you very much both of you for attending.  Before we get into the questions, we need to do our declarations of interest, starting with Warinder Juss.

Speaker 2
Hello, good afternoon.  I'm Warinder Juss, Member of Parliament for Wolverhampton West.  I'm a solicitor, but not practicing.  I'm a member of the GMB trade union executive council and a member of various APPGs, and my other interests are on the register. 
20:02 - 20:19
Speaker 3
Hello, nice to see you both. 

I am Sarah Russell, I'm Member of Parliament for Congleton.  My interests are on the register, but particularly pertinent is the fact that I'm a solicitor with a current practicing certificate, although not currently practicing.  I'm also chair the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Access to Justice.
