Emergency Workers (Protection) Bill

: On that point, part of the difficulty is that my hon. Friend has not outlined the full statistical position on assaulting a police officer compared with common assault because she has not told us either the difference in the number of prosecutions in each category or the conviction rates vis-à-vis both categories. My hon. Friend has spent a lot of time talking about assault on individuals. What about attacks on vehicles being used by emergency services in their work? I am particularly minded of the recent FA cup match between Manchester United and Liverpool. A Manchester United player suffered an horrific injury and had to be taken from the ground in an ambulance, which was pelted with bottles and glasses by a scandalous minority, although I do not know whether they were Liverpool supporters or not. Would such disgraceful behaviour be covered by a separate offence of obstruction and impeding?
