Clause 84 - Defendant's bad character
Criminal Justice Bill
3:30 pm
Mr David Cameron (Witney, Conservative)
I am following my hon. Friend's argument, but I have one concern. Will he clarify how serious an offence must be for someone to be bound over to keep the peace, and is it possible that people can be bound over repeatedly? If so, the point that he makes will not have as much force. Not being an expert, I am not aware of how serious an offence must be for someone to be bound over.
