Proceeding contribution from Lord Brennan of Canton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid.
Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid
I am beginning to wonder whether it was a mistake to separate the Ministry of Justice from the Home Office, because we now seem to have one Ministry for arresting people and another for letting them go. If the right hon. and learned Gentleman wants to get rid of his reputation as a wishy-washy liberal, will he go the whole hog and rename his Bill the ““Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders (Hang 'em, Flog 'em and Birch 'em) Bill””. That might satisfy Members on the Conservative Benches.
