Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 9 February 2012. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill.


Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for her reply and grateful too for the intervention from the noble Baroness, Lady Whitaker, and the noble Lord, Lord Beecham. I said at the beginning that I am glad to see the reforms that are implicit already in Clauses 91 to 94 but, as I am sure the noble Baroness realises, there is disquiet over the use of electronic monitoring for extended periods, particularly for young people. I suspect that this will return on Report, if not with my amendment then in connection with Clause 75, which was discussed on Tuesday. I am grateful that obviously work has been done to produce the answers to these probing amendments. In that spirit and with gratitude to the Minister I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 178ZZAZA withdrawn. Clause 87 agreed. Clause 88 : Requirements for electronic monitoring: extradition cases Amendment 178ZAZA Clause 88 : Requirements for electronic monitoring: extradition cases Amendment 178ZAZA Moved by
