Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 November 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Security Industry Authority.


Security Industry Authority

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. Before the SIA, the security industry in this country was unregulated. Although many in the industry carried out good work, there was certainly an opportunity for those who were not interested in either the security of the people and places they guarded or the employment of their staff to get away with it. That is no longer the case thanks to the work of my hon. Friend and others who took through the legislation.
