Clause 1 - Offences leading to penalties on the spot
Criminal Justice and Police Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Charles Clarke (Minister of State, Home Office; Norwich South, Labour)
Why does the hon. Gentleman think that organisations such as the Association of Chief Police Officers support us in what we are proposing here? I acknowledge the various aspects of substance where there are differences of emphasis, but in the fundamental thrust of what is being proposed in the Bill we are supported by ACPO. Given the hon. Gentleman's concerns, why does he think that they support us?
