Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I would hope that the noble Lord, Lord Henley, heard me, but if he did not, let me repeat myself. Our reasons were based on custody plus, which we think this would absolutely destroy if it were ever brought in. There more likely would be a complete custodial element and no licence element. The whole point is to have a licence period after custody. In addition, it would—as it were, by the back door—increase the amount of time that the magistrates are entitled to send someone to prison for.
