Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 January 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Police and Criminal Evidence (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007.


Police and Criminal Evidence (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007

That is a very good question. I should imagine it is costing an absolute bomb—these things always do—but I do not have a figure. Nothing comes free. This is not done to save money, I am fairly certain of that. I will be happy to check to see whether the cost can be codified, compared with what happened in England and Wales. The notes say that, "““The measures in the Order are not expected to impose any material cost to business, the public or the Exchequer””," so my saying it would cost a bomb is obviously inoperable. On Question, Motion agreed to.
