Proceeding contribution from Earl Cathcart (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

I support the noble Lord, Lord Best. He has set out the issue far more eloquently than I could, so I shall not try to do so. However, what he described is rather like a court trying someone for murder, finding him innocent of murder but guilty of shoplifting, and then deciding, ““Well, we’ll hang him anyway””. I think he is saying that we must let the punishment fit the crime.
