Proceeding contribution from Lord Jones (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 January 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Mandatory Life Sentence: Determination of Minimum Term) Order 2010.


Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Mandatory Life Sentence: Determination of Minimum Term) Order 2010

My Lords, I support the order and thank my noble and learned friend the Attorney-General for her exposition. In the context of this debate, are figures available for, say, 2008, if not for 2009, regarding the level of knife crime? If such figures are available, would it be possible to know how many people over the age of 21 committed such crimes, as well as those in the age brackets 18 to 20 and 12 to 18? That might help us better understand the context of the debate.
