Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 6 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

I am against unnecessary custody. While I am on my feet, I shall try to identify one small drafting point in line 25 of page 23, where it says ““the court thinks””. Courts may think any thought that comes into their heads. Would it not be much better to say ““is satisfied””?
