Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill.
Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill
The noble Lord is being a bit unfair towards Charles Dickens himself. I may be wrong about this, but I think he put the expression, ““The law is an ass””, in the mouth of Mr Bumble in Oliver Twist. He is hardly the most sympathetic character in the whole of Dickens.
