Crime and Courts Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Crime and Courts Bill [HL].

My Lords, I was hoping that my noble friend Lord Macdonald would be in his place as he was a little earlier. I hope he is not stuck in a lift or something. I want to put on record on his behalf, on my behalf and on behalf a number of people who are becoming quite vocal, my wholehearted support for this amendment, and I speak for a number of colleagues. I put my name to the equivalent amendment at the previous stage and, as I recall it, the noble Lord, Lord Mawhinney, said, “For heaven’s sake, even the Liberal

Democrats have this as party policy”. Well, we do; we would have gone further, but we are happy to go as far as is before us tonight.
