Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of time motion).


Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of Time)

After everyone has been so helpful, I do not want to be unhelpful, but I am still puzzled, because the Library research paper on the Bill before us states that""the Government's legal advice appears to be that previous convictions under the 1984 Act are safe."" If there is a loophole and the 1984 Act is unenforceable, I do not understand how previous convictions under it can be safe. Will the Minister explain that point, please?
