Proceeding contribution from Viscount Simon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].


Road Safety Bill [HL]

My Lords, this amendment makes so much sense. For the amusement or fear of the noble Baroness, Lady Hanham—I am not sure which—I relate to the House that we were overtaken by a lady in an unmarked car who had a hand-held mobile phone in one hand and a piece of paper on the steering wheel on which she was writing. She was stopped for driving at more than 100 miles an hour and was disqualified from driving.
