Emergency Workers (Protection) Bill

I am trying to be helpful. What the Minister has just said is reassuring. However, I have still not heard enough about why an aggravated offence does not work, and why she is taking this line of argument. Rather than prolong this debate and that point, however, will she agree to meet me and the hon. Member for Arundel and South Downs (Nick Herbert) before the Committee stage—hoping that we get that far—to go through that argument? It is our intention to help the Government introduce this legislation, but we wish to test those arguments.
