Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 October 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Policing and Crime Bill.


Policing and Crime Bill

If this amendment had been moved 10 years ago I would have been hesitant about supporting it. Then, the only plastic glasses available were flimsy, brittle and discarded very easily. Things are very different today. You can now buy plastic glasses which look exactly like the genuine article. Only when you pick them up and see how light they are do you realise that they are not glass. This is a very worthwhile amendment. Does the Minister have any statistics about the number of people who are severely injured or disfigured in fights or unprovoked attacks in pubs and other drinking venues in the course of a year?
