Proceeding contribution from Lord Gove (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.


Education and Skills Bill

My hon. Friend, who has considerable legal and constitutional experience, makes a good point. I am genuinely curious about the Government's position. Can people who deliberately refuse to pay a fine because they consider it to be unjustified evade sentencing? If so, what effective sanction is there? What deterrent exists to ensure that someone will attend?
