Criminal Justice and Courts Bill

I cannot add much to what I have already said. For the first time, in statute—if this clause becomes law—we shall have a requirement for information about financial resources to be provided. We shall also have clear guidance to the court as to how it should exercise its discretion on using that information about financial resources. I think that the

noble Lord himself said that it was useful to have some of these things stated in the statute. That is precisely what we are doing.
