The Conservative Party (Høyre) has requested Justice Minister Grete Faremo (photo) to report to Parliament (Stortinget) on why the new Penal Code has not been put into effect.
A few days ago it was revealed that the new Penal Code, which was passed in 2005, will be much delayed due to deficiencies in the police national computer systems.
This the Conservative Party cannot accept.
- We cannot accept the fact that the Storting pass laws which are not put into effect, says Høyre's judicial spokesman Andre Oktay Dahl to the newspaper VG.
