Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fraud Bill [HL].


Fraud Bill [Lords]

The incidence of credit card fraud, not merely by customers against retailers but often the other way around, is a significant problem, of which I confess I was briefly the victim in South Africa last year. Will the hon. and learned Gentleman tell the House something about the penalties proposed in the clauses and specifically how they compare with existing penalties? Is he prepared, alongside custodial sentences, to consider stiff community penalties and possibly the use of restorative justice?
