Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, that is a proper political point to make but I do not think that it affects the argument in any way. This part of the Bill need not be brought into active force for many years. During that period, a close study could be made of what other avenues are explored—for example, stern evidence and advice being given to the Magistrates’ Association on the exact way in which magistrates should approach the problem of suspended sentences, if the problem is the same as the Government see it to be.
