Clause 202 - Domestic infringements
Enterprise Bill

Mr Harry Barnes (North East Derbyshire, Labour)
My pager might have been vibrating, but it did not make that noise.
My hon. Friend makes an important point, but the ratio of those susceptible to scams is probably more than one in 100. A whole group in society is excluded from the sort of knowledge to which I have referred. However, it is generally accepted that people should have understanding and knowledge and be able to work out the details and the implications of the system, and that those without that knowledge are not catered for, or are simply rather foolish.
However, we are talking about a big sub-group, and we should try to ensure that the legislation takes care of their problems and assists them in handling those situations.
