Proceeding contribution from Viscount Bridgeman (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 July 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Amendments to Schedule 2) Order 2007.

Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Amendments to Schedule 2) Order 2007

I thank the Minister for his explanation of the order, which, as he explained, is intended largely to bring the legislation in Scotland into line with that of England and Wales. I would welcome his assurance that the order is, as the Government said, ““appropriate and proportionate”” both in England and Wales and in Scotland. My party did not oppose the Act when it was brought into force, and I would welcome the Minister’s assurance that the Government have in mind not to penalise excessively the smaller businesses in this industry. We have no other objections to the measure.
