Proceeding contribution from Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities Bill [Lords].
London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]
I wonder whether it is not rather an unsatisfactory principle that something that was perfectly legal should be made illegal and then increasingly unpleasant, and draconian penalties are introduced for people who are doing something that used to be legal, having been forced to do it less comfortably. I simply do not think that is the right way to legislate.
