Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (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

I was going to make just one point—about whether the public have been put at more risk because it has taken some time to bring in this legislation, and about whether the police have been able to manage the situation. It seems that no one has really suffered apart from the police, who have had to manage the situation, and that now we require to put the matter right. If the public have not been put at risk, that is great, and if the police have been able to manage, that is good, too, so let us get the legislation through as fast as we can.
