Clause 2 - Registers of motor salvage operators
Vehicles (Crime) Bill
11:00 am
Mr Charles Clarke (Minister of State, Home Office; Norwich South, Labour)
First, Mr. O'Brien, I must apologise for being late for the Committee. I had to attend the debate on rural policing in Westminster Hall.
The hon. Member for Lichfield made an assertion that was entirely untrue. He suggested that I put pressure on the chief constable in his area not to give him information. That is utterly untrue, and I ask him to withdraw it immediately.
