Proceeding contribution from Charles Walker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fraud Bill [HL].
Fraud Bill [Lords]
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. Nothing upsets the police more than the fact that, when they actually catch an individual who has been preying on the elderly and vulnerable and he is brought before the magistrates courts or even the Crown court, he is given a one or two-year suspended sentence or a bit of community service. That individual then goes back to doing what he was doing very well before—ripping people off. People like that should be locked up and if the Solicitor-General can lock them up not for three or four years but for 10, good on him.
