Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bribery Bill [HL].


Bribery Bill [HL]

The point that I am trying to hammer home is that there is an enormous difference between giving a warrant for a particular use on a particular occasion and authorising people whom you do not know for something that they may do in future. You do not know what they will do in future, because they are given a general class authorisation. That is why there is a really serious difference.
