Coroners and Justice Bill

As I made clear, my honourable friend has asked for a debate on this matter. As I understand that particular case—the noble Lord, who is much more learned in these matters than I am, will correct me—that judgment does not insist that we automatically give the vote to every prisoner. It would be possible to make some other adjustment, of the manner suggested by the noble Lord, Lord Ramsbotham. We have asked for a proper debate on this matter. That is the right way of deciding these things. A Conservative Government, when they are in power, would then respond accordingly.
