Victims and Prisoners Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hampton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 16 April 2024. It occurred during Debate on bills on Victims and Prisoners Bill.

My Lords, I too have added my name to Amendment 1. The great thing about following my noble friend Lord Russell is that I need to say very little. The beauty of this is its simplicity. We have talked about this again and again, and I thank the Ministers for their hard work and the very collegiate attitude we have had. People have come to an agreement and the Government have given a lot. However, it is so beautifully simple to change “a person” to “any adult or child”. There is a lot of talk about how, if you start doing that, where do you stop? But “any adult or child” is perfect.
