Proceeding contribution from Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill.
Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill
My Lords, the Minister has failed to see the critical difference between the proposals in this Bill and the solution to the problem that everybody in this debate wishes to overcome, which was achieved by the noble Lord, Lord Howard of Lympne. I have yet to hear an answer as to why the proportional representation that was written in to the police authority legislation that we currently have is being done away with. Will the Secretary of State say to authority A: ““I am sorry, the system has not worked; you are unbalanced and therefore you will co-opt to balance yourselves””? I am sorry but we have a problem that was fixed and we are now busy recreating the original problem.
