Clause 67 - Nationality requirements applicable to police officers etc.
Police Reform Bill [Lords]
9:45 pm
Mr John Denham (Minister of State (Police, Courts and Drugs), Home Office; Southampton, Itchen, Labour)
As we shall discuss later, Hercule Poirot turns out to have been working without proper insurance cover during all the dramas that we enjoy on television. We shall try to put that right when we discuss later clauses.
Of course, the European Union has not tried to extend provisions on free movement of labour to certain functions, and one of those is national policing. The Bill is entirely compatible with our international treaty obligations.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 67, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
