Clause 22 - Limitations of emergency regulations
Civil Contingencies Bill
2:45 pm
Mr Richard Allan (Shadow Spokesperson for the Cabinet Office, Cabinet Office; Sheffield, Hallam, Liberal Democrat)
The amendment was intended to provoke a debate, and we have had some useful contributions. I especially like the Minister's phrase, ''Be alert, not alarmed''. It reminds me of that old graffito, ''Be alert, Britain needs lerts''. I think I got that from my mother—it is of second world war vintage.
We have explored the substance of the offences usefully, so I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 22 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
