(Reuters) - Criminal court proceedings in England will be televised for the first time to improve public understanding of the justice system, a senior minister said Tuesday.
The move comes after criticism that some courts had handed out excessive sentences to many of those found guilty of taking part in a wave of rioting across the country last month.
Justice Minister Ken Clarke said allowing cameras into court would increase the public's confidence in how the justice system operated.
"The government and judiciary are determined to improve transparency and public understanding of court through allowing court broadcasting," he said in a statement.
However, cameras will only be permitted to record judges' summary remarks at the end of each case. There will be no filming of victims, witnesses, offenders or jurors, Clarke's justice ministry said.
