Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

My Lords, my name is on this amendment. As persuasively put by my noble friend Lord Thomas of Gresford, it seems to be an unarguable proposition. The only fiddling point I would make about calling it ““collaborative law”” is that it is not the law that is collaborative but the process. It might be better to call it ““collaborative resolution””, but that is a detail. I hope very much that my noble friend will feel that this is an advance.
