Proceeding contribution from Lord Sutherland of Houndwood (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.

Protection of Freedoms Bill

My Lords, the speeches that we have heard from two very senior practitioners in relevant fields make a powerful case. I shall not run through their arguments again, nor the ones that I put forward during the previous stage of the Bill. I simply underline the fact that if people of this calibre are expressing concerns and those concerns could be dealt with by using the government procedure of post-legislative scrutiny to inform practice, that is a very reasonable request and I hope that the Minister will feel free to accede to it.
