Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

The hon. Gentleman is right to say that we are widening the sources that might provoke an intervention. That is because, for the sake of argument, something such as the Bichard review of the tragedies at Soham and what happened thereafter is not a ““negative inspection report””, but a serious examination, which it would be quite appropriate for the Home Secretary of the day to take into account. That is why it is right to widen the basis of impulses that cause the Home Secretary of the day, at whatever time, to be able to look at what is happening. It is widening, as the hon. Gentleman says, but for good reason.
