Proceeding contribution from Brian Jenkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fraud Bill [HL].
Fraud Bill [Lords]
Although I should like to agree that it would be appropriate to incorporate a sunset clause, what guarantee could the hon. Gentleman give that sufficient cases had come to trial within the time to be sure that we no longer needed the offence? That is the difficulty. Who can guarantee the number of cases that will come before us in a set time? Surely it would be better to build up a bank of knowledge and ensure that the measure is working before we make the decision.
