Proceeding contribution from Shailesh Vara (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

In his speech to the Labour party conference, the Justice Secretary said that he would like to"““review the balance of the law””" in this area. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Government's new clause does not amend or review the balance of the law? It simply tinkers with the existing state of affairs. The Opposition new clauses would achieve what the Secretary of State said he would achieve and would amend the balance of the law.
