The Commission: Judges

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Are Britain's judges out of touch with the nation? In the penultimate edition of the programme, Nick Ross and three independent commissioners discuss the arguments surrounding how to appoint the judiciary. Tonight's impartial commissioners are Dean of the London Business School, Laura Tyson; Head of the Countryside Agency Richard Wakeford, and former High Dean of Manchester Grammar School (soon to be head of St Paul's School), Martin Stephen. Together they hear the evidence of five experts, each with a different point of view, and reach a decision that could shake up the entire judiciary. Repeated from Wednesday
