Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 6:30 pm on 8 February 2011.
Vernon Coaker
Shadow Minister (Home Affairs)
Just for clarity, does defining crime and disorder reduction negate anything to do with Clause 79, on the strategic policing requirement? The question is serious. Is the clause stating only what “crime and disorder reduction” means wherever it is mentioned? Does it have any broader definition?
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
