Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

moved Amendment No. 89: 89: Clause 17, page 12, line 17, leave out ““in any part of the United Kingdom”” The noble Lord said: I can be extremely brief in introducing this amendment. Clause 17 amends Section 229 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which deals with the assessment of dangerousness in connection with public protection sentences. As currently drafted, the amendment to Section 229 would allow the court to take into account information available to it about any previous United Kingdom convictions. My question is: what about convictions in other parts of the world? I beg to move.
