Proceeding contribution from Lord Harris of Haringey (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 3 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL].


Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL]

I rise to speak in support of Amendment No. 142, not because of any inadequacies in what the noble Lord, Lord Laming, has just said, because he made all the points that needed to be made in respect of ““action or inaction””. It is just as important to include ““inaction”” as ““action””. I wish to make two other points. In the cold light of day, the grouping seems to be a ragbag of issues that have been brought together. In addition, if this amendment were incorporated in the Bill, a similar amendment would be needed in Clauses 27, 32 and 35.
