Mon 8th Mar 2010: National Offender Management Service | Justice | Written Answers To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what mechanisms are in place to (a) evaluate the (i) effectiveness and (ii) cost-effectiveness of offender management interventions and (b) provide... National Offender Management Institute | Justice | Written Answers To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what recent assessment he has made of the merits of establishing a National Offender Management Institute. I shall be brief, because we have made our position clear as we have debated the various groups of amendments this evening. The Bill is the usual random collection of measures-very much an... New Clause 4 - Injunctions: gang-related violence | Crime and Security Bill | Commons debates Could the Minister explain to the House how a custodial sentence would not involve criminalising the child? New Clause 4 - Injunctions: gang-related violence | Crime and Security Bill | Commons debates Breaching. New Clause 4 - Injunctions: gang-related violence | Crime and Security Bill | Commons debates The Minister knows perfectly well why I cannot agree. My position is clear from what I said in my speech, and from what we said in Committee. In reality, the proposal further criminalises... New Clause 4 - Injunctions: gang-related violence | Crime and Security Bill | Commons debates I shall be brief so as not to labour the point. We accepted in Committee that in some circumstances gang injunctions can be useful for tackling adults involved in gang-related violence, and we... New Clause 3 - Alcohol disorder zones | Crime and Security Bill | Commons debates Can the Minister confirm that no local authority is currently expressing any interest in applying these powers? New Clause 3 - Alcohol disorder zones | Crime and Security Bill | Commons debates I very much agreed with the Minister's point about the importance of cutting alcohol-related violence. Could he tell the House what the Home Office is doing to ensure greater co-operation between... New Clause 3 - Alcohol disorder zones | Crime and Security Bill | Commons debates The right hon. Gentleman is right to say that in a rational, well-ordered world where Ministers were doing things in the correct way one might well suppose that a consultation process would be a... New Clause 3 - Alcohol disorder zones | Crime and Security Bill | Commons debates I am pleased to follow the hon. Member for Stoke-on-Trent, South (Mr. Flello), who speaks a lot of good sense on this issue. Let me first deal with amendment 23. The Government's introduction of... It is very important that the House hears what the Minister just admitted. He admitted that the information on which he has been making his case has not been checked, which is why he has been... Will the Minister tell me when he intends to answer my parliamentary question? I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way, particularly as it allows me more time to prattle. He says that he is in favour of repealing the Human Rights Act, and we know that that is his... In a very fine pamphlet recently, Peter Oborne and his co-author pointed out that the European convention on human rights was drafted substantially by British lawyers and came under enormous... This is a fundamental issue. The hon. Gentleman says that it would not be prejudicial for all people's DNA to be on the database, but the key principle is surely that the state should not take... It seems to me that it is crucial for the hon. Gentleman to recognise that on both sides of the House no one is against the national DNA database. The vast majority of crimes that are solved... Of course it is a deterrent, and of course any crime scene will be searched for DNA, which will automatically go on to the database and be used as part of the investigation. We entirely support...
