Proceeding contribution from Earl of Sandwich (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Coroners and Justice Bill
As one who supported my noble friend’s original amendment, I thank the Government warmly for this, and for remaining in contact during the coming period of consultation with the organisations that put time into this debate. I make only one comment. Under existing legislation there have been very low rates of conviction. I hope that the new offence will to some extent make up for that, in conjunction with Article 4 and the asylum and immigration Act 2004.
