This report examines the constitutional implications of the Crime and Courts Bill. It specifically focuses on three aspects of the bill: the National Crime Agency and counter-terrorism policing; the size of the UK Supreme Court; and Judicial appointments. Concerns raised by the Committee include that Clause 2 raises the fundamental constitutional issue of the proper relationship between parliamentary and executive law making.

With regard to judicial appointments the focus further centres on four concerns: the role of the Lord Chancellor in relation to the appointment of the Lord Chief Justice and the President of the Supreme Court; the absence of an express diversity duty on the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice; the absence of proposals to increase the retirement age for certain senior judges; and the absence of proposals about government lawyers becoming judges
