Policing and Crime Bill

I would not see that as something that would ever be done, because that would be a punitive action; it would not be proportionate. Although if we said, "Right, you are never to leave your house", we would know that he is not going to go down the Cromwell Road, or wherever it is, that would not be proportionate. We want to stop him going to Cromwell Road, where we know that the person whom he wants to shoot is and where the person who wants to shoot him is. That is where the debate would lie and that is how it would happen.
