Criminal Justice Bill

Proceeding contribution from James Cleverly (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 November 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Justice Bill.

My hon. Friend makes an important point about the need to update a number of provisions, including the Vagrancy Act 1824. I know he feels strongly about that and, through the passage of the Bill, I am more than happy to listen to his contributions about other opportunities to update and modernise legacy legislation, which has served us well but for a very, very long time, to ensure that it is relevant for the modern world, not the Victorian—or sometimes Georgian—era when the provisions were originally drafted.
