Clause 10 - Conditions of licence
Northern Ireland (Offences) Bill
2:00 pm
David Hanson (Minister of State, Northern Ireland Office; Delyn, Labour)
The amendments would place additional conditions on a person holding a licence. In normal criminal proceedings, the judgment on whether a person is a danger to the public is relevant in decisions on the passing of a life sentence, but it is not used in other circumstances. The proposal is therefore a departure from normal criminal proceedings.
