Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Merchant Shipping (Pollution) Bill (HL).


Merchant Shipping (Pollution) Bill [Lords]

I am glad my hon. Friend has tabled these amendments. Is not the danger of the EU directive that it introduces the concept of serious negligence? Conservatives believe that people should not be prosecuted for something that they did not intend to do.
