Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 5 March 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

We are talking about going into a pub and people saying that a crime has been committed and being prepared to talk about it. However, I am afraid that there are areas in our country where people will not do that. People will not come forward, as they are scared. Yet one knows exactly who the individuals are who are causing this problem and posing a great risk to others. That is what these measures are aimed at.
