Lord Foster of Bath (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

Perhaps I can help the noble Lord a little in his answer to his noble friend. I am sure he has seen that later on the agenda there are a number of amendments in my name and those of others in the Committee proposing that the Bill not be allowed to go ahead until we have evidence of sufficient numbers of prison officers and in the Probation Service. That might be the way out of his dilemma.
