Even Lady Scotland, does not know what is happening or is trying to misinform the House of Lords, one hopes it is the former, because if it was a deliberate attempt to mislead then how are we supposed to believe anything any politician tells us.

Lady Scotland should in fact know that she gave Lord Tebbit a wrong answer she has after all overall responsibility for reform and modernisation of the Criminal Justice System, previously she was Parliamentary Secretary at the Lord Chancellor’s Department from 2001 to 2003; and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1999 to 2001.She was an Alternate UK Government Representative of the European Convention from 2002 to 2003.Patricia Scotland was called to the Bar, Middle Temple, in 1977, received Silk in 1991 and became a Bencher in 1997.

She is a member of the Bar of Antigua and the Commonwealth of Dominica; was appointed an Assistant Recorder in 1994, a Recorder in 2000 and approved to sit as a Deputy High Court Judge of the Family Division; she is a Door Tenant at Bridewell Chambers.But to be fair perhaps her other works gets in the way of keeping up to date with the latest law in this country she is also deputy to Peter Hain (Foreign Office Minister) on the Convention of Europe as well as Cabinet Office Spokesperson on Gender and Equality Issues.
