Further written evidence to be reported to the House
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

David Hanson (Minister of State, Ministry of Justice; Delyn, Labour)
As I have said, Sir Nicholas, you are always right and how can I not take that encouragement in the way that it was meant?
If the Committee feels that it will be of help, I will ensure that a letter detailing the pilot project is sent to members of the Committee. As I say, I wish that I could give more information on that project today, but I am not party to it and I would not wish to give information that was not complete to the Committee.
In responding to the debate, I hope that I have provided clarity for the hon. and learned Member for Harborough, the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome, and my hon. Friend the Member for Leyton and Wanstead on the Government’s thinking on these issues, and I also hope that, having given those assurances, the amendments will not be pressed.
