Proceeding contribution from Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 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 the noble Lord will contain his impatience for just a second, he will find that I answer exactly that point in a moment. Where specific police activity cannot be justified, parties may well agree not to include this in the plan or they may wish to gather further evidence before making a decision. Ultimately, if agreement cannot be reached, any determination provided by the Secretary of State will not impose a policing measure without regard to all relevant and reasonable evidence to demonstrate that this is necessary. I hope that the noble Lord will feel that that statement answers the point that he has just made. The noble Lord’s amendments would, as we have heard, enable the British Transport Police to police airports. He made this point at Second Reading, as indeed I did from the Back Bench on this side of the House.
