Proceeding contribution from Baroness Falkner of Margravine (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, there has been some confusion about the case despite comments from the Benches on our left. I will, however, rise to the occasion. I was slightly distracted by the incredible pace of debate this afternoon. We have received the letter from the Minister, the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, and are grateful that the Government have taken on board the philosophy behind what we were trying to do, if not the absolute wording of our amendments. On that basis, we are grateful to the Government for having come this far because, eventually, the objective that we all wanted to achieve has been covered—more or less. On Question, amendment agreed to.
