Proceeding contribution from Tim Loughton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill (HL).


Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [Lords]

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman; no doubt the Kazakhstan loophole will be invoked by anybody who wants to prove that they did not have intent in such cases. The hon. Gentleman applies subjectivity to the test, but if he is to be consistent he will have to agree that the Minister earlier introduced an enormously subjective test of inadvertence that had no basis in the legislation, whereby a business will be treated differently from somebody who carried out and followed the letter of the law, as set out in the measure.
