Vehicles (Crime) Bill
3:45 pm
Mr Charles Clarke (Minister of State, Home Office; Norwich South, Labour)
I shall explain why the clause should stand part of the Bill. We do not agree with the British Motorcyclists Federation. It is important to fight speeding. We do not accept that the measure is a stealth tax. It is a penalty for those who behave illegally and cause danger to the rest of society.
It being Four o'clock, The Chairman put the Question necessary under the terms of the programme resolution to complete the business.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 37 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Adjourned till Tuesday 23 January at half-past Ten o'clock.
