Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill

My Lords, I did make the point that the British Crime Survey has data on that, and I repeat my promise to share with the noble Lord the figures that we have. As I said, it would be wrong of me to weary the House this morning with those data, but data are available—perhaps not in the precise form that we would wish or the noble Lord would wish, but they are there. In conclusion, I wish the Bill well, and the Government give it their proud and wholehearted support. I very much welcome the wide-ranging support that it received this morning. With the many fine brains that have turned their attention to it, no doubt it will reach the statute book in perfect form in due course.
