Clause 4 - Effect of penalty notice
Criminal Justice and Police Bill
5:30 pm
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
What I am saying is that, given that the Government are talking about their own fixed penalty scheme, I want the Minister to confirm that the problems associated with fixed penalties for parking in London will not arise in respect of this provision. If the Minister can produce guidance or give a firm undertaking that a raft of cases will not be transferred to extremely inconvenient courts when appealed, we will be happy. I hope that he can give some reassurance in that regard.
