Proceeding contribution from Lord Pendry (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.


Violent Crime Reduction Bill

My Lords, I am sure that the noble Lord, Lord Addington, spoke for the sporting world when he said that if the Minister responded positively there would be a great deal of rejoicing. I was not going to raise the question of the Minister sinning in the 2001 Act; he raised that himself. I assure him that there is not just rejoicing in heaven for the sinner who repenteth, but there will be rejoicing throughout the sporting world when it reads this debate. I thank the Minister for his positive response. On Question, amendment agreed to. Schedule 5 [Repeals]:
