I support the noble Lord, Lord Best. He has set out the issue far more eloquently than I could, so I shall not try to do so. However, what he described is rather like a court trying someone for murder, finding him innocent of murder but guilty of shoplifting, and then deciding, ““Well, we’ll hang him anyway””. I think he is saying that we must let the punishment fit the crime.
