Proceeding contribution from Maria Miller (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL].

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [Lords]

I thank the hon. Lady for her intervention and for her support. It is not my intention to create more criminal offences. I am trying to show what would happen if we retained so many vague terms. At best, we would create confusion and, at worst, jobs for lawyers trying to unpick the legislation. If it is difficult for us to pin the language down, it will be much more so for those in the workplace who confront these issues.
