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.
I wonder whether the Minister can give me a single other example in legislation in which a power is presented on the basis that it will never be used but is valuable because its role is to exist but never be used. I know of no other such case in government.
