Road Safety Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister very much for his helpful responses. I also thank the noble Lords, Lord Monson and Lord Berkeley, as well as my noble friend Lady Hanham for theirs. As indicated, a justice gap has been acknowledged by the Government. They have already suggested that the maximum penalty for dangerous driving should be raised to five years, and their consultation paper is already in favour of the institution of a new offence of causing death by careless driving. Thus, as earlier outlined, the purpose here is to encourage the Government to use the Bill in order to act upon their own intentions. I am extremely grateful to the Minister for his reassurance that he will act accordingly. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 86 not moved.] Clause 19 [Breach of requirements relating to children and seat belts]: [Amendments Nos. 87 to 89 not moved.] Clause 19 agreed to. Clause 20 [Using vehicle in dangerous condition etc.]:
