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

Is not the logic of that that there should be special homes for 17 year-olds only? The Minister has agreed with the noble Lord, Lord Ramsbotham, that they should not be in adult prisons, and he has said they should not be remanded to local authority homes because it is unsuitable for them to be with younger children. The logic of that is that you have special homes for 17 year-olds; it follows as night follows day.
