: I shall in a minute, when I have finished. I hope that I may provoke the hon. Gentleman a bit more before I do.
I look forward to seeing the hon. Member for North Southwark and Bermondsey (Simon Hughes) campaign round the country for the leadership of the Liberal Democrats. He has my wholehearted support. People should know that the would-be leader of the Liberal Democrat party opposed the legislation that gave the police the power to disperse groups of youths; that he opposed fixed penalties for drunkenness; that other spokespeople for his party believe that criminals should have the same freedom as their victims; and that prison is a waste of time when dealing with many such problems. I look forward to the Liberal Democrat leadership race publicity.
