Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

If overall crime is falling, that is extremely welcome news, although there are disputes about the figures. But it is obvious that the last Government created an enormous number of new offences, without which we lived perfectly well for hundreds of years. We need to review how many criminal offences are on the statute book.
