Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

The hon. Gentleman is something of an expert on the subject, given his experience with private Members' Bills. He wants to remove the current prevalence of investigations, and prevent every single case from being taken to court. Surely basing the law on the concept of ““grossly disproportionate”” will send a strong signal to the police as regards the Association of Chief Police Officers guidelines, and surely that will mean that very few such cases—only the most extreme ones—will go to court. That, surely, is what we are trying to achieve.
