Proceeding contribution from Lord Kingsland (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

So we can be reassured that the amendments are not contaminated by the matter that I raised. I emphasise again that, in my view, the key to all this is trust: trust the individual who is trying the case; trust him to get it right. Do not require him to end up awarding a custodial sentence in inappropriate circumstances.
