rose to move, That the Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Act 1965 shall not expire as otherwise provided by Section 4 of that Act. The noble and learned Lord said: My Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper. For reasons I shall explain, the Government have come to 1108 the conclusion that the time has arrived when Parliament, on a free vote, should be asked to decide whether or not capital punishment should be abolished.

As a preamble to this post let me make some disclosures. I am a Criminal Defence Solicitor, and as such some of my employers and part of my income comes from representing people at the police station . The firm I work for receives about £150 for each person I advise at the police station this includes any travelling to and from the station, any time I spend waiting about for the police to be ready and for actually attending upon the client.

What do you do when a minister - Bob Neill - cites a statistic as laughable as this? - bengoldacre - secondary blog
Here is an article I wrote about the Department for Communities and Local Government pushing a laughable, absurd claim that they could save 20% off all local government procurement. In reality, this was based on a flimsy pamphlet from a private management consultancy firm who'd told the government they could get them 20% off their mobile phone bill. okay, i'm seriously, as a project, going to pursue any avenue open on this, not because i think it's the most egregious example ever, but because i think it's interesting to see if there is any kind of regulatory framework in which one can make a diddly fuss about this kind of thing, and if not, consider whether there should be.Law centres provide vital advice on housing, benefits, employment, debt and immigration.
