Clause 95 - Fixing of fines: Failure to furnish statement
Courts Bill [Lords]
10:30 am
Mr David Heath (Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
I have not had the opportunity to look up the relevant section of the Criminal Justice Act 1991. Perhaps the Minister can help me by telling me whether the analogous provisions to new clause 3, which would qualify this new subsection, are already in the 1991 Act, that is to say, a person
''makes a statement which he knows to be false in a material particular, recklessly provides a statement which is false in a material particular, or knowingly fails to disclose any material fact.''
I am assuming that those are already covered, so are not in the amendment. Perhaps he can confirm that.
