Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, it still does not explain the notional minimum term as it is positively defined in subsection (3C) on page 10. What you are disregarding is crediting periods of remand. If the threshold is the equivalent of a sentence of four years, which the Minister said it was, I want to know why.
