Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 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
It is the punishment that is being increased within the sentence. Lay persons, or non-lawyers like me, at least, would see a difference between being ““in nick”” and ““not in nick””. It is much nicer not be in nick than to be there. Therefore, if that ““nickdom”” is increased, it counts as a punishment. I quite accept that what the noble Lord, Lord Elystan-Morgan, and the Minister are saying is technically correct, but that is how it appears to a non-technician.
