Policing and Crime Bill
12:00 pm
Nicholas Winterton (Macclesfield, Conservative)
I welcome our witnesses who are changing places: having been part of the Committee questioning witnesses in the earlier sessions, they are now to be subject to questions from other members of the Committee. I welcome particularly Vernon Coaker, the Minister for Security, Counter-Terrorism, Crime and Policing, Alan Campbell, the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, and Jim Fitzpatrick, the Under-Secretary of State for Transport.
We are going to take the various sections separately. The first will be policing, the second airport security, the third prostitution, the fourth alcohol, the fifth proceeds of crime, and the final one extradition. We have agreed to spend a certain amount of time on each one, and we will start with questions on policing from the spokesman for Her Majesty’s Opposition.
