Clause 25 - Using vehicle in dangerous condition etc.
Road Safety Bill [Lords]
5:15 pm
Alistair Carmichael (Shadow Secretary of State for Transport, Transport; Orkney and Shetland, Liberal Democrat)
If the hon. Gentleman is talking up the seriousness with which he approaches the matter, I am concerned about the use of the word “owned” in the amendment. He will be aware that these days many companies do not own their vehicles—they lease them. To my mind, that is an obvious loophole in the amendment.
