Although the Minister is right to say that there are penalties for those who use a wrong identity, would she none the less agree that the idea in effecting the relevant clauses is not to punish people but to prevent the offences from being committed in the first place? That is where our argument is coming from: we want to avoid the offences, rather than to prosecute later on.
