Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].

Road Safety Bill [HL]

The noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, made an important point. It is very important that the Minister tells us how many prosecutions there have been under this new legislation. It is a bit surprising that when we introduce some new legislation there is no system to record the number of prosecutions. I am grateful for the contributions of all noble Lords on this amendment. The Minister mentioned organised crime. If those involved in organised crime can illegally import a pretty girl from Moldova for the purposes of sex trafficking, I doubt that they will experience much problem obtaining illegal number plates. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clauses 33 and 34 agreed to.
