Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Population.


Prison Population

I hope that the hon. Gentleman will accept that I am unable to comment on individual cases that he may bring up. I do not know the details of the case or the circumstances in which the judge considered it. However, the gun legislation is in place for a positive reason—to help to reduce gun crime and its impact. If the hon. Gentleman wishes to write to me with the details of the case, I will look at them and respond as positively as I can.
