Clause 35 - Access to certain motor insurance information
Vehicles (Crime) Bill
11:00 am
Mr John Bercow (Buckingham, Conservative)
The clause empowers the Secretary of State, although it does not require him, to issue regulations that provide the relevant information required to be
kept by regulations made by virtue of section 160(2)(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 to be made available to the Police Information Technology Organisation for use by constables.
My hon. Friends and I are not altogether happy with the wording of the clause. Specifically, we are uncomfortable with the wording of subsection (2)(a), where reference is made to
such information of a particular description.
That is gloriously vague—that is Sir Humphrey incarnate.
