Proceeding contribution from Mark Francois (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

I am enjoying my hon. Friend’s speech. If I may say so, he is making a powerful case. As for the level 2 tasks, I understand that the Government have rejected the so-called federation approach of getting a number of different constabularies in a region to work together to combat terrorism. I thought that that had some merit. Is there not the alternative of their working with elements of the Serious Organised Crime Agency to provide a link between constabularies and thereby fight terrorism in the regions? That might be a good way to address the problem, and a number of chief constables, including my own, have said that they think that that is quite a good idea.
