Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Harris of Haringey, was transferring his logic from one argument to the other. I was impressed by the adept transference of logic, but I am not drawn to support it. We therefore simply disagree on the operational importance and stature of the chief constable, and the fact that they are there to direct, manage and control the police service—in practice, in consultation with the police authority. I understand the nature of the noble Lord’s argument; I simply disagree with him.
