POLICE REFORM AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BILL - (REPORT) 4TH DAY

13 July 2011: Lord Faulkner of Worcester: My Lords, I speak in favour of the seven amendments (covering licensing and firearms)......... I hope very much that the Minister can accept the spirit of these amendments. The previous Government attempted to do that and were not able to produce exactly the right solution. She has the opportunity to produce a lasting solution for the future of the BTP's powers and jurisdictions. If she does that, the travelling public, railway staff and the officers of the British Transport Police will be greatly in her debt. Read Hansard report
