Part of Victims and Prisoners Bill - Committee (7th Day) (Continued) – in the House of Lords at 8:30 pm on 12 March 2024.
I am grateful, but my hope is not dashed, not least because my noble friend is a force of nature, as he has demonstrated throughout his career with the integrity that others have referred to in the way that he has conducted himself over this particular issue in recent times. I need to put on the record for the Committee that he feels particularly strongly about the injustice faced by this cohort. I repeat: every argument we have aired earlier this evening becomes turbocharged in relation to these people, who were children when they were placed under this sentence. But for the moment, at least, I beg leave to withdraw.
Amendment 155 withdrawn.
Amendments 156 to 158 not moved.
Clause 48 agreed.
Amendments 159 to 166 not moved.
