Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell of Markyate (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL].
Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]
My Lords, the Minister said that egregious or more serious cases should go to the courts. Those were 40 per cent of all the cases that he produced. I have provided the figures on how many went to the magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court: 15,385 went to the magistrates’ courts and 76 went to the Crown Court. Now we are finding that 40 per cent are to go off to the courts and 60 per cent are to go into the new civil system. Did that not surprise the noble Lord, Lord Borrie?
