Proceeding contribution from Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rehabilitation and Sentencing.


Rehabilitation and Sentencing

I welcome the reference to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 in the Green Paper ““Breaking the Cycle””, although that reference did not make it into the statement. It follows on from the excellent report by Lord Falconer, ““Breaking the Circle””, which unfortunately the Labour Government did not have the courage to do anything about. Will the Secretary of State assure me that this matter will be an important priority, particularly in ensuring that cautions become spent extremely quickly?
