Crime and Security Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Crime and Security Bill.
Does it not surprise the hon. Gentleman that the Government never held any proper consultation with local authorities in order to discover whether this was a power that they wanted? Does not one usually ask people whether they want a power before one announces that the power is to be given to them?
