Proceeding contribution from Lord Herbert of South Downs (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder (NUS Rally).


Public Disorder (NUS Rally)

I strongly agree with my hon. Friend on both counts. First, serious violence did take place, and it is very fortunate that no one was more seriously hurt—especially given that many of us saw on the television screens someone apparently throwing a fire extinguisher from the roof of the building, which could have really hurt, and possibly even killed, people standing below. That underlines the importance of proper policing, and of a proper review of how the incident was dealt with. I agree with my hon. Friend that it is important for the review to be conducted speedily.
