Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Rehabilitation of Offenders (Amendment) Bill [HL].


Rehabilitation of Offenders (Amendment) Bill [HL]

I support the amendments, which are entirely sensible for another reason, too; if the Bill is to get through before the election, which I sincerely hope it will, the removal of possibly contentious parts of it will help. The amendments in no way weaken the rehabilitation programme for the offences, with which no one can argue. As they are sensible, they deserve the support of the whole Committee.
