Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

What the Minister is arguing would be a good reason for not including in sub-paragraph (4) that, "““the court must take into account the extent to which the offender has complied with the youth rehabilitation order””." What could be more central to the proceedings before the court, where it has to be proved to the satisfaction of the court that the offender has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with a youth rehabilitation order, than that it should take into account the extent to which he has complied with it? If it is all right to have that in, what is wrong in principle or in practice with the addition proposed by this amendment?
