Clause 10 - Breach of drinking banning orders
Violent Crime Reduction Bill
5:30 pm
Jeremy Wright (Rugby and Kenilworth, Conservative)
Does the Minister accept that for persistent breaches of a longer drinking banning order it might be sensible to allow the courts the option—it is no more than that under the clause—to impose a custodial sentence? Does not she accept that, if the order is to be taken seriously, repeated breach of it over a prolonged period should carry the possibility of custody?
