Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
As a veteran of countless criminal justice Bills, I would say that it is normal for the concept of reasonable belief, rather than the word ““think””, to be used in them. It appears in an awful lot of criminal justice Acts. The reasonableness of an officer’s thought can be challenged only through administrative court proceedings, which is a very long-winded way of arriving at the right decision. I do not think that the concepts ““the officer thinks”” and ““the officer reasonably believes”” are entirely congruent.
