Emergency Workers (Protection) Bill

I am interested, too, in the point made by the right hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Mr. Forth). Section 21 of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 makes clear provision to achieve the same aim, provided the Government introduce a statutory instrument to include offences in secondary legislation. Has the right hon. Gentleman explored that and the provisions of the Police Act 1996 with the Government?
