Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) 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]

We are eager to make the courts’ position as credible as possible if they make such an offer. We fear that the obvious outcome would be that a court, although it would prefer the option, cannot do so because there are not enough available training places. I understand what the noble Lord is saying and do not object to his proposal in principle—far from it. We are eager to implement the principle, but his amendment would get us into considerable difficulty.
