UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.
It seems to me that this is yet another example of the conscious or unconscious ratcheting up of sentences and penalties. We have already seen the bad effects that that has had and now, because of the overcrowding of prisons, it has caused the Government to release prisoners in advance of the due date. On those grounds, I hope that the Minister will be able to give us a very helpful reply.
