Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Protection of Freedoms Bill.

Protection of Freedoms Bill

My Lords, I support the thrust of the two amendments, or either of them. As the noble Lord, Lord Wills, has said, it is important to give the official who is tasked with applying the legislation the tools to do the job properly. After all, he and his office are in the best position to analyse where the obstacles are. This is a clear problem and he has been clear about the need for a solution. I hope we use this opportunity—I do not like the jargon—to add to the toolbox.
