Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder at NUS Rally.
Public Disorder at NUS Rally
My Lords, I commend to the Minister the wisdom of the late James Callaghan, whom I had the honour of serving in the Home Office some 40 years ago when there were some very robust protests, as she will remember. He used to say, ““It is far better to have a surplus of officers on the scene rather than the other way round. The more officers you have, the less likely will be the need to resort to violence””.
