Clause 3 - Graduated fixed penalty points
Road Safety Bill
3:00 pm
Mr Paul Stinchcombe (Wellingborough, Labour)
As I understand it, the hon. Gentleman's case is not the same as the Secretary of State's, who is simply saying that there should be an enabling provision and then consultation and consideration before the set of penalties is established. The hon. Gentleman's position is rather different: he believes that we should enact legislation now that would reduce the penalties for speeding below 40 mph, even though many children would be killed by such acts of speeding.
