Clause 39
Local Transport Bill [Lords]
12:15 pm
Stephen Hammond (Shadow Minister, Transport; Wimbledon, Conservative)
I want to probe the Minister a little more, because it seems to me that all the circumstances she described were covered by the fact that it is an offence for an operator to provide such information that is
“false or misleading in a material particular”.
I understand entirely what she is trying to cover, but it is already covered by that provision. What she is saying is that in this situation, recklessness—the test of which we have discussed under previous Bills—is a lower test of deception. Is that what she is saying to us?
