Proceeding contribution from Priti Patel (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

I agree absolutely on that point. There is no doubt that this issue needs some rebalancing and some common sense. This system has had a devastating impact on people who have been wrongly referenced. There should be a more proportionate approach. Hopefully the mistakes will be reduced as well. I want to see measures that protect the vulnerable and our children. This Bill is a step in the right direction and it is a proportionate response in this area.
