Clause 179 - Cartel offence
Enterprise Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Ken Purchase (Wolverhampton North East, Labour/Co-operative)
I am happy to seek advice from any quarter on this matter, because I think that we are dancing on the head of a pin. I am entirely unsure about the difference between the terms, and I am anxious that we get the terminology right. Clearly, (a) to (f) provide the grounds on which action will follow, but to make that reality, we must show people's intention. You used the word ''recklessly'', which could mean unintentionally. Do we need to prove that reckless behaviour has contributed to dishonesty? If that is the case, we really need an explanation from the Under-Secretary.
