Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [Lords].
Road Safety Bill [Lords]
From a sedentary position, the Secretary of State has said that the Bill addresses that matter, and I hope that the Minister will explain exactly how it does so. The Secretary of State used the parliamentary term, ““rubbish””, to describe reports that automatic number-plate-reading technology will be used to spot people who are not wearing their seat belts or who are using their mobile phones. Is he saying that that technology will never be used in that way? I am not necessarily expressing a view on whether that would be a good or bad thing, but if the technology is available, why would the Secretary of State exclude the possibility of its ever being used in that way?
