Proceeding contribution from James Brokenshire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crime and Security Bill.

Crime and Security Bill

Does the Minister not think it somewhat strange that a notice that could contain largely the same provisions as an order subsequently conferred by the court could in effect be for longer than the order itself? As he will appreciate, there is a maximum period of around 28 days for the order granted by the court. Therefore, an administrative sanction given by a police officer could extend for considerably longer than something decided through a court process with judicial oversight, which seems somewhat strange, given the relative balance of who should be making such decisions. Is the Minister comfortable with that?
