Proceeding contribution from Charles Walker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.
Police and Justice Bill
Although the scheme proposed by the Government appears superficially attractive, I share my hon. Friend’s concern. The situation is similar to cases in which the police send people letters that say, ““You have been caught speeding—pay £60. You can take this to court, but if you do, be warned that we could fine you £2,000.”” That approach has caused concern, because some people who know that they are innocent, but who fear being fined £2,000, have taken the £60 fine and admitted the offence.
