Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 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
Before Report stage, can we have some serious investigation into the custody threshold level? Either it is a criticism of the magistrates, or there has been a sudden surge in crime. We do not know which, and we should not legislate where we do not know what is going on. I see that, perfectly reasonably, the noble Lord is not saying, ““I criticise the magistrates””, but something must be wrong if what has happened has happened. Therefore, we need more information on it, and that is what I am badgering for.
