Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Draft Legislative Programme.
Draft Legislative Programme
Is the Prime Minister aware that in the century before 1914 there were only 13 criminal justice Bills, and between 1914 and 1997 there were 40, but that since 1997 there have been approximately 64, and we are about to embark on the 65th? May we have a little less legislation and rather better government? May we then perhaps have a reduction in the prison population, adequate capacity for prisons and a reduction in the rate of crime? At the moment, we seem to be getting a lot of bad legislation and a lot of bad crime.
