Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 5 July 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Amendments to Schedule 2) Order 2006.

Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Amendments to Schedule 2) Order 2006

My Lords, I am given to understand that there is no need to include them in this order. I say that as confidently as I can. However, consideration has been given to it, and the decision arrived at is that the 2006 Act did not extend the powers of DCOs in such a way as to make it necessary for them to be licensed. That is our clear view. If that proves on reflection to be inaccurate, I will certainly write to the noble Lord. However, I understand that the very firm view is being expressed that what I have just told him is correct.
