Baroness Blatch: This must be my last word because the Committee is becoming anxious. The House is sitting tomorrow and the convention is that we do not go past 11 o'clock when the House is sitting on a Friday.
However, the only way one can accommodate supervision periods inside sentencing time is to go for much earlier release. The Government have set their mind against early release. The whole purpose of the proposals was to do away with early release, and that will remain a fundamental issue between us. If the Committee supports that, that will indeed wreck the Bill.
House resumed: Bill reported with amendments.
- House adjourned at twenty-six minutes before midnight.
