Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.

Violent Crime Reduction Bill

My hon. Friend is quite right to say that that is the kind of way to deal with the matter. As I said earlier, when there is a genuine interest—I have more understanding of the interest of the re-enactment societies than that of some other bodies—we should simply look at a regime that will work. My hon. Friend’s proposal might well be right, but I do not want to allow a situation in which any such activities can somehow be used as a diversionary path to try to avoid the legislation, which is why I am being cautious in my response.
