Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].

Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

I think the hon. Gentleman is describing as consultation what was in fact a forced U-turn, when the Government realised that what they were proposing would not work. What worries us is that the Bill sweeps away ancient British rights with only the offer of protection by regulation some time in the future. In that respect in particular, it is very much a skeleton Bill. We will therefore aim to ensure that the powers of enforcement are not increased while individuals are left almost entirely unprotected.
