Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harris of Richmond (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill.

Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill

I support my noble friend in her comments. The whole point of tabling the amendment was to try to persuade the Government to bring on the strength of the checks and balances. That has not been done, and I cannot imagine what they could come up with at the ping-pong stage. But I hope they do come up with something because it is the strength of those checks and balances that this House, which voted so strongly in favour of my amendment, supported. I therefore urge my noble friend the Minister to see what she can do.
