  1. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    I am glad that we have established that, if nothing else. First, the PPS is not part of my Department: let us be clear about that. It is good to have identified something else that the Member is not an expert on. Secondly, that was not the point that I made. I am genuinely concerned that all the shouting that Mr…

    • Executive Committee Business

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. The amendments that we are debating this evening went through the normal processes. First, they were considered by the Bill Office for drafting. While they might benefit from being finessed at Further Consideration Stage, they were nevertheless judged by the Speaker to be…

  3. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    Ten is also an arbitrary amount and a cliff edge. The Member is effectively arguing for having no minimum age of criminal responsibility and that every child, from birth, should be open to being prosecuted by the courts if they misbehave in public. That is the logical conclusion of what the Member argues. Otherwise,…

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    I am surprised not only that the Member feels that he speaks on behalf of policing, justice, victims and everyone else but that he now presumes to speak on behalf of the youth justice system. I can be very clear in saying that the experts in the youth justice system who deal with young people every day support a…

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    I have been listening all along. Trust me, I can multitask. The issue is not that those things cannot be done. The issue here is that a child can be detained by the police. The rationale for doing so may be different, but, if a child who is under the age of criminal responsibility, as it stands at 10, were to commit…

  6. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    A number of amendments have been proposed by Back-Benchers in the passage of the debate, many of which were incoherent, including that from your former colleague, whose I do not believe was competent. However, the purpose of Further Consideration Stage — I know that the Member is an expert on everything, but maybe he…

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I understand that you will wait until all parties have had an opportunity to contribute to the debate. However, I stand here not as a member of a political party but as a Minister, and I will therefore not have an opportunity to address the amendments, even though all parties…

  8. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business
    • As a minister

    On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. All of us have these things in front of us called "microphones". Can you remind the Member that there is no need to gulder and wave papers? We are also not supposed to use props. I know that he is used to being theatrical, but it is getting a bit out of hand.
