After that comprehensive reply, it would be churlish to do other than say that I will make sure that the Law Society of Scotland has a good look at this. I agree withthe noble Lord that, with regard to the third interpretation of the potential consequences, it would be wrong...

I teased the noble Baroness because it is the Government, in their early release schemes, who are releasing from prison those who should be there. We can see the difficulties arising from those with life sentences who have been lost after release by the probation service. However, we will return...

Let us hope they have the relevant advice and the good sense to do that where it is right to do so. We are on the same side, but for some people, it is much better if the thing is disposed of properly. All of us want the proper protections...

As I made clear, this is a probing amendment to meet the requirements of the all-party group, to which the noble Lord’s comments will not come as a surprise. The difficulty is that all of us have noted the Government’s split personality. On some occasions 16 to 18 year-olds are...

I add my voice in support of the amendment. The noble Baroness, Lady Henig, has made a very practical proposal. These people have very broad experience of police matters through their service on police authorities. It would bring an extra dimension to inspections, without in any way undermining their independence...
