Proceeding contribution from Lord Wallace of Saltaire (Liberal Democrat) 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

I stand corrected but I hold to the principle which runs through this Bill—that of the independence of the police in terms of command and senior appointment and the international and national role of the Metropolitan Police as an exception in this regard. This is why the Bill is written in this form. On that basis I invite the noble Lord to withdraw his amendment.
