Proceeding contribution from Lord Kingsland (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.

Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, the Courts Service is one problem, but the Government also have a potential evidential problem here. I hesitate to call those involved the government prosecutors—although many of your Lordships here this evening may—so let us refer to them as authorities. It is the authorities’ responsibility to put together the case. Making an assessment of putting together a compelling case on day one may turn out to be overambitious by the time that you arrive at the court, when you cannot renew the order. How will the Government handle that?
