Clause 20 - Injunctions in local authority proceedings: power of arrest and remand
Police and Justice Bill
3:15 pm
Martin Horwood (Shadow Minister (Environment), Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Cheltenham, Liberal Democrat)
I am impressed by the Minister’s faith in the system and her belief in the courts. There is an argument for retaining a level of flexibility, but I commend the idea of attaching some kind of restraint to the process, which might draw far more people into custody than I think she would want. Nevertheless, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
