Proceeding contribution from Viscount Bridgeman (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Policing and Crime Bill.


Policing and Crime Bill

These government amendments are welcome because they improve the clarity and drafting of the Bill and address many of the concerns expressed in the last debate. Although many venues are dedicated to adult entertainment, there are others where the distinction between a bar and a relevant venue is not nearly as clear. We still have concerns about the exemption provisions and the definition of "relevant entertainment", and we feel that these leave much to be desired. We shall pay attention to these before we come back at the Report stage.
