Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (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, it is necessary to obtain consent because the sample has been taken without the conscious agreement of the person concerned. Before any further progress can be made with the sample, consent has to be given. We all recognise that consent would be withheld where the person is in no position to exercise any response. However, we are concerned that delayed consent can lead to a different and lower order offence. We are trying to rationalise that process. That is why the amendment is necessary.
