Proceeding contribution from Lord Borrie (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL].


Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

My Lords, I do not wish to take up the time of the House, but my answer to that is that of course the starting point is a criminal offence, for which there could be a criminal prosecution. The purpose of Part 3 is to provide an alternative to a prosecution and to get at the problem in a somewhat different way.
