Mr Des Browne (Minister of State (Citizenship, Immigration and Counter-Terrorism), Home Office; Kilmarnock and Loudoun, Labour)
I do not want to make a mountain out of molehill in relation to this. Clause 30(2) states that a person is guilty of an offence of providing false information only if the circumstances at the time of the provision of that information are that he
''(a) knows or believes the information to be false; or
(b) is reckless as to whether or not it is false.''
The answer lies in clause 30.
