Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) 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

The noble Lord said that, because someone has committed a violent offence before, we are going to impose another restriction on them. That is double jeopardy in anybody’s book. It is punishing people a second time around and that is plumb against the European Convention on Human Rights and, above all, against English judicial tradition.
