Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, I know he is, and that is why even though we disagree we have quite a decent personal relationship. Having said that and been depressed by what the noble Lord said, of course I am pleased that the Government have gone a little way. I just think that this Government have no concept of the grandeur, history and importance of individual liberty and subjects’ rights and privileges under the law. It has gone back through Act of Parliament after Act of Parliament over the past 10 years. Of course I will not press my Amendment No. 101, even though I think that it is much, much better. I am pleased that the Government have gone some way to what I am asking for, and I do not want to appear ungracious over it. But it is just not enough; they do not understand the concept of the grandeur of the liberty of the subject under the law. That is what is so depressing, and it runs through the whole Bill.
