Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) 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

My Lords, I am not sure that is necessarily an easy thing to prove. When someone has been shot in a particular gang, we may know that one of that gang’s members is going back to the area where the other gang is, and that we have a history of people shooting each other. Yet trying to prove that threat of violence would, I believe, be extremely difficult in our courts.
