Criminal Law

Proceeding contribution from Nick de Bois (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 November 2014. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Criminal Law.

I am grateful to the Home Secretary for her personal interest in the case of my constituent Andrew Symeou, and to the Minister. On this point, which is often known as the Symeou

clause, does she have confidence—this is something that I and my constituent lack—that the decision to charge and try will necessarily follow with the same speed and alacrity as in this country and many other countries? We are totally reliant on those other countries to enforce such measures quickly, else people will languish in jail because there is a difference between the decision to charge and the different decision to try.
