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

This is an important point that the noble Lord is making, but I wonder whether he is right in saying that sub-paragraph (1)(c) refers to being in breach of a community order. It refers to a person who, "““has wilfully and persistently failed to comply””." It is the difference between those two that is quite important here. I apologise for interrupting the noble Lord so early in what he has to say.
