New Clause 7 - Firearms: international co-operation and general duty of the Secretary of State
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]

Mr Alistair Carmichael (Orkney and Shetland, Liberal Democrat)
A few short minutes ago—at least, according to the clock it was a few minutes ago; it seems a hell of a lot longer ago than that—the hon. Gentleman was telling the Committee that we have too many laws, and that too many of them are unnecessary. I wonder whether he would care to reflect on his words in relation to new clause 7. What does it really add?
