Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 14 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].

Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

With regard to the Minister’s first remark, when my ancestors had a castle in Wales they ran their own courts. Their justice was so acclaimed by the Welsh that when my ancestor was eventually removed by Owain Glyndwr, there was general rejoicing for several weeks. There is still a plaque in the church commemorating the departure of my ancestors. We have a better system at the moment. Will the Minister sketch in a bit the sort of circumstances in which she sees force against the person being reasonable? I can imagine when that force is reasonable and what kind of force that would be, but I would be grateful to know her thinking. How does she currently envisage these powers being used?
