Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

Does the noble Lord accept that there has been consultation on this issue for the past 20 years and that the views of all professional organisations have been absolutely clear? Can he explain why he tells the House that he is in favour of the mandatory life sentence? What is the reason for retaining it?
