Clause 179 - Cartel offence
Enterprise Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Ken Purchase (Wolverhampton North East, Labour/Co-operative)
I want to probe the matter a little further. Historically, there is no question but that cartels have acted against the interests of ordinary consumers. It is therefore important that get the law right, and it is right and proper to probe the matter.
I am not sure how to distinguish between dishonesty and the phrase ''knowingly and recklessly'', as applied to the conditions in (a) to (f). Are they the same? If so, there is no point substituting the phrase ''knowingly or recklessly''.
