Criminal Law

Proceeding contribution from Imran Hussain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 January 2020. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Criminal Law.

I am just concluding now; the hon. Gentleman has missed his chance to intervene.

This order is also a missed opportunity to set out measures that will increase public safety, such as boosting the resources available to the probation service, retaining experienced prison officers and returning our prisons to safe staffing levels, and increasing the availability of real, purposeful activity and rehabilitation programmes in prison and in the community. Instead, we see this piece- meal, headline-seeking approach from the Government, which does not address the crisis in our justice system.

Fundamentally, the Government have failed properly to make the case for this order, by failing to demonstrate that it is the most effective way to keep the public safe and protect victims of crime. We will therefore not support the order this afternoon.
