Criminal Defence Service Bill [Lords]
11:45 am
Jonathan Djanogly (Shadow Solicitor General (Also Shadow Minister for Trade and Industry), Law Officers (Assist the Home Affairs Team); Huntingdon, Conservative)
I agree with much of what the Minister has said. This has been, if not the shortest, one of the shortest Standing Committees on which I have served. I congratulate the Minister on completing her first one; they are not all so easy, as she will know. I thank you, Mr. Conway, the officials, the police and the Doorkeeper.
The Minister spoke about the conclusion of the Committee's business. Although we agree with the thrust of the Bill there are one or two outstanding issues to be dealt with later.
