Mr Goldsmith should not be so cynical. The judiciary is independent because we act constitutionally to protect that independence. This is a small bill, but it does protect the independence, because the Cabinet fees framework is controlled by the Government, and that fees framework does classify judicial and statutory officers into broad categories. And then it allows the Minister responsible for those statutory officers, or the decision of the whole of the Cabinet, to set the fees for the category of work that they do depending on the nature of that work, the expertise that's required, and the extent of the decision-making powers.
