Clause 85
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
6:15 pm
David Burrowes (Shadow Minister, Justice; Enfield, Southgate, Conservative)
The Justices’ Clerks Society has made a point about violent offender order applications and the police being the office holders who make the complaint to the magistrates court. I asked whether it would be more appropriate for the Crown Prosecution Service, which is independent of the investigation, to make the complaint, and that is my question to the Minister.
