Road Safety Bill

Mr Christopher Chope (Shadow Minister, Environment and Transport; Christchurch, Conservative)
I agree with that; it is the traditional approach. I do not know from whom the hon. Gentleman is quoting: it could easily have been a quote that I would have given when we discussed this matter 10 years or more ago. The traditional approach of lawyers has been that we should judge people's culpability rather than the consequences that flow from it.
