The issue is about proper scrutiny of the wording and ensuring that the Bill is effective and properly targeted. Again, Mr K, the objection wasn't the principle of having a law on upskirting, it was simply about the principle that all new legislation proposed should be debated and looked at properly.

Poorly worded and ill thought out laws are what causes injustice and leads to unnecessary court cases to test the view of the Courts on what that wording actually means.

The politicians need to look at their procedures and modernise them. It's all very quaint to continue to operate outdated, arcane procedures, rituals and protocols, but I think most people think they are ridiculous.

I think new procedures should be installed and ALL proposed legislation should be subject to scrutiny.
