Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 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

I, too, find subsection (2) rather sinister because it seems to encourage agent provocateurs. Subsection (3) would catch parents who bought a packet of cigarettes and who were seen later to offer one to his or her 17 year-old son or daughter. Surely that is not what the noble Lord, Lord Henley, intends; I would be interested to hear from him on that.
