Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) 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
The hon. Gentleman is confusing two different aspects of the problem. One is the test of reasonableness or disproportion, including the word ““gross””; the other is the mistaken beliefs of the defendant, and whether the court accepts them and does not investigate them, which is what the Government's new clause would appear to propose. Or should the court investigate the reasonableness of the beliefs, which is what the Conservatives' amendment would appear to propose? That is why the Secretary of State is correct in what he says.
