Proceeding contribution from Lord Mayhew of Twysden (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons: Population.
Prisons: Population
My Lords, just now the noble and learned Lord took credit for the Government insisting on the terms of sentences being fulfilled. Is that not the exact opposite of what the Statement will achieve? On an ancillary aspect, surely the policy of executive release, which is what this is, is achieved only by an order of the Executive overriding an order of the judiciary. How is that compatible with the rule of law?
