Baroness Neville-Jones
I think that the Government should be judged by their actions. In this instance, they have put forward a reasonable, proportionate and effective proposal to meet the judgment of the court.
Lord Low of Dalston
My Lords, would the noble Baroness not agree that the making of judgments, not just about matters of proportionality but also about reasonableness, is an inherent part of the judicial process, which is not just a matter of mechanistically interpreting the law?
Baroness Neville-Jones
I am sure that the Government and the House would agree with that sentiment.
