Proceeding contribution from Lord Herbert of South Downs (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
No, I do not accept that and I am happy to rely on the advice of the Library, which says that the new test is likely to be more generous to defendants. If one uses the words ““grossly disproportionate””, an objective test is the right approach. The Government are now advancing a different argument and suggesting that the Opposition seek a lower level of protection than the one that they propose. That is plainly nonsense.
