Proceeding contribution from David Ruffley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 March 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Policing in London.


Policing in London

Absolutely not. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act was a Conservative piece of criminal justice legislation which, as everyone agrees—the Minister and I have debated this—is one of the jewels in the crown. In terms of red tape, let us consider the Auld review, which resulted in statutory charging, and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. They are the measures that are causing more red tape to be heaped on the police, not PACE, and no Conservative Member has ever suggested otherwise.
