I beg to give notice of the following Motion to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs:- THAT, aware that during the year 2003 the Government enforced the Community Service Order Act 1988 as part of the ongoing prison reforms; deeply concerned that most police stations and prisons are still crowded with petty offenders as magistrates are not fully utilising the community service as an alternative to custodial sentences for petty offenders; also noting that Article 49(2) of the Constitution states that such people should not be held in custody if an offence is punishable by a fine or imprisonment for not more than six months; this House urges the Government to reinforce the Community Service Order Act, 1988."
