Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) 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, that is exactly the argument that I did not use. The argument that I used was that to put 17 year-olds with older criminals is wrong, not the other way around. It is essential in my view that they should not be mixed with older criminals and the Government seem to have accepted that but, like St Augustine, they say, ““Make me chaste; but not just yet””.
