Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I would be interested to know what the noble Lord means by generic. I would like to see it. My general contention, coming back to the point raised by the noble Earl, Lord Onslow, is that courts have sufficient discretion at the moment. Then the question arises: do they use that discretion to best effect? If there is evidence that they do not, what can be done to encourage them to use that discretion? If I can take that away—I consider it as a constructive and reasoned response to this debate—I would be very glad to do so.
