Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Wirral (Conservative) 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

I am talking about public consultation on this proposal and I do not believe that there has been that consultation. All the arguments in favour of maintaining the mandatory life sentence are still there and I support them. The nature of the consultation to which the noble Lord referred does not include consultation on this proposal, which I think is sorely needed.
