Proceeding contribution from Mark Reckless (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Police (Detention and Bail) Bill.


Police (Detention and Bail) Bill

It is clear to me, at least, that the Government acted with alacrity, but perhaps the Home Secretary can help me by explaining earlier events involving Greater Manchester police. Why, despite the discussion following the judgment, did they not apply for a certificate for an appeal on 19 May, and why did it then take so long for that to happen? In particular, why was no reliable written note taken of the oral judgment?
