Clause 38 - Offences by bodies corporate
Vehicles (Crime) Bill
10:30 am
Mr John Bercow (Buckingham, Conservative)
Does my hon. Friend agree that subsection (1) is potentially disturbing? We know that one of the responsibilities of a motor salvage operator or a registration plate supplier is to furnish details of changes of their circumstances to the central authority. If a secretary inadvertently failed to dispatch those details, he or she would, on the face of it, be subject to prosecution because of an error committed negligently, but not in bad faith.
