Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (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
Does my hon. Friend agree that the law is so unambiguous that the Government were forced—three years ago, when the matter came up in deliberations on a private Member's Bill that I was taking through the House—to issue a wholly risible document that contained illustrations to show how it would work? Now it seems that we need another clarification. Would not the simplest thing be for them to accept new clauses 8 and 9 and use the phrase ““grossly disproportionate””? That would clear the whole thing up.
