Policing and Crime Bill
12:00 pm

Mr. Campbell: Unless you are telling me that somehow we are going to move on from the advice of the chief medical officer today and incorporate that in what we are saying, all I would say here is that advisers advise and Government decide. The example that I prefer is of a child helping a parent who has bought some wine or beer in a supermarket to carry it to the car, although the child was not old enough to have bought it. They will not be held accountable by a police officer in a car park saying, “This is the third time I have seen you doing  that.” This is precisely not where we want to be, but I do not think this is what we are discussing and it is not the area that this offence is meant to address.
