Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) 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, I, too, support the amendment, as I did on a previous occasion. I am certain that the noble Lord, Lord Judd, if he were here, would have been on his feet much earlier. I do so for the reasons stated—the maximum flexibility in dealing with the young, acknowledging the different stages of growing up and giving them the maximum chance of not going into a fully-fledged prison environment. I support the amendment and hope that the Government will think again.
