Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) 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

My understanding is that the amendment applies to detention and training orders. They can still be given for some serious offences, such as inflicting grievous bodily harm and even racially aggravated grievous bodily harm. I am happy to write to the noble Baroness with more details, but the advice I have been given is that what most people regard as serious crimes could be encompassed within her amendment.
