Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Swynnerton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 August 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder.
Public Disorder
May I intervene? The Minister will have heard my noble friend Lord Dear saying that he did not want to contemplate the idea of riot police, such as the CRS in France. I wonder whether it is possible to reconsider the hostility to that French innovation. I remember a liberal Lord in this House, the first Lord Gladwin—I remember him because he was my father-in-law—suggesting that if we had had a CRS in the 1970s we would not have had to send the paratroops in to deal with the riots in Northern Ireland and would have avoided Bloody Sunday.
