Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Wright (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Fighting Crime (Public Engagement).


Fighting Crime (Public Engagement)

I agree with the hon. Gentleman's latter point. Far be it from me to defend the Government, but is not Louise Casey's point rather different from what he suggested? It is that people need to understand what is being done in community punishment, and therefore the visible exercise of such punishment is good, because it restores faith that real punishment is taking place.
