Proceeding contribution from Eric Forth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 3 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Emergency Workers (Protection) Bill.
Emergency Workers (Protection) Bill
I am sorry for interrupting the right hon. Gentleman so early but I hope that he will reassure those of us who are worried that the Bill risks gilding a lily. Why is existing law unable to cover the dreadful events that he is describing? Why does he believe that the Bill is essential? I am more than happy to support it if I am persuaded that existing law cannot cover the events. However, I would be unhappy if we introduced a new Act simply because we were not prepared or able to implement existing Acts.
