Proceeding contribution from Karl Turner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill.
Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill
Does the Minister not accept that the law works perfectly well as it is? Some years ago, I defended someone who had chopped off someone's ear with a samurai sword and the jury acquitted him, saying that he had used reasonable force in the circumstances.
