Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 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
What the Minister has just said—exactly as my noble and learned friend argued—is that we should not give the courts the extra flexibility because they are likely to use it wrongly. Like the noble Lord, Lord West of Spithead, the court should be trusted to match the sentence to the crime in the good old Gilbertian sense.
