Proceeding contribution from Clive Efford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 14 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill.


Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill

I am grateful for that intervention, but I will not pursue it, because I can see that Mr. Deputy Speaker thinks that that would stray too far from the Bill. Nevertheless, we need to address the antisocial behaviour that has made this Bill necessary. The Government are addressing that point through the respect agenda, which has my full support. I commend the work that has been done, but I believe that we need to invest more money to minimise the number of times that the Bill is used to protect emergency workers.
