Proceeding contribution from Baroness Brown of Silvertown (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 suffer from the malady of not being a ““learned”” Member and find myself wishing that I had done a law degree, which would have been much more useful to me than literature—[Hon. Members: ““No!””] Well, we do need people who understand books as well. I understand that the reference to assault was taken out of the Bill because there is already sufficient remedy in English law to tackle that problem.
