Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police (Detention and Bail) Bill.


Police (Detention and Bail) Bill

The noble Baroness is being very patient indeed. We do not have a Committee stage on this Bill, so I hope she will excuse me if I press her slightly on this. Does she agree in principle that it is highly desirable, before emergency legislation is brought before Parliament, that every step is taken to try to ensure that the Supreme Court is asked to hear a case with very considerable expedition so as to avoid emergency legislation if at all possible?
