Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.


Offender Management Bill

My Lords, my task is simple: to accept the amendments. We do not agree with the arguments behind them that were made at an earlier stage, but we understand that these are tidying-up amendments. Noble Lords on the Opposition Benches have been advised on this course of action by the Public Bill Office, and it is on that basis—though without prejudice to the Government’s position on the underlying policy intention—that we are happy to accept the amendments.
