Clause 47 - False alarms of fire
Fire and Rescue Services Bill
3:15 pm

Mr Hugo Swire (East Devon, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Under-Secretary for that clarification. This morning, in considering clause 33(6), we debated at some length the difference between the application of the law to England and Wales and to Scotland, and we got a fairly ambiguous answer on that point. Will clarify whether the clause would apply equally to Scotland, as it would to England and Wales, in terms of penalties?
