Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
Uptariffing, which sounds like something to do with swans, has been going on due to political pressure from both governing parties over the last 15 years. We look to this Government to put a stop to it. The Sentencing Guidelines Council does not make any difference; the political pressure continues. The Bill unhappily has failed to meet that challenge. Amendments Nos. 5 and 6 are attempts to do precisely that.
