Proceeding contribution from Viscount Goschen (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].


Road Safety Bill [HL]

I am not quite sure whether the Minister has finished his remarks, but could he answer the point raised by my noble friend Lord Lyell and myself: what if the person who is not disclosing the information is either someone who does not hold the driving licence or a body corporate? While he is about it—the noble Lord talks about the perverse incentive—what if the offence was someone driving 150 miles per hour along a motorway, for which a court would ban a driver automatically. Surely the six points then becomes too low. I am just concerned about where the six comes from.
