Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 March 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Serious Crime Bill [HL].


Serious Crime Bill [HL]

I invite noble Lordsto look at the front leaf of the Bill. I know that sometimes that may be difficult for the noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Gresford, so I invite him to look at it with me. It states that, "““the provisions of … the Bill ... are compatible with the Convention rights””." House arrest would not be compatible with convention rights. I hope that he and I can agree on that, at least.
