Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

In a moment. That is the worst kind of cynical politics, and it is exactly what turns people off. Nevertheless, let us take the Lord Chancellor at his word. He promised an"““urgent review of the law on self defence…aimed at ensuring that those who seek to protect themselves, their loved ones and their homes, as well as other citizens, have confidence that the law is on their side.””" So I can tell the Lord Chancellor that when the Bill is in Committee we will re-table the provisions for which we have fought for years to give that greater protection to people who seek to protect themselves against burglars. I would be delighted if the Lord Chancellor would intervene on me now to say whether, in view of what he said at the Labour party conference, he will support that amendment. Go on, have a go, Jack.
