Proceeding contribution from Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Queen's Speech.


Queen's Speech

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord and apologise for intervening again. In so far as we are concerned with the welfare of society, which is why we send people to prison, should we not be concerned with the simple prisoner—the person who may, through some intellectual or physical disability, find himself in prison? The ordinary, decent prisoner should be protected against the godfather of crime who is dedicated to corruption, terrorism and drugs—the noble Lord knows what I am saying.
