Proceeding contribution from Tony McNulty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.
Police and Justice Bill
This is purely contingency planning by statute. Every statute in this area, and in many others, is littered with such powers, which are never used because whatever the Government of the day seek to do—short of using those powers—usually works, using exhortation or motivation, for example. I would also ask the hon. Gentleman not to misquote me. I made it very clear that we have had powers on the statute book for 12 years—and, happily, never had to use them—and not just since 2002.
