Proceeding contribution from Keith Hill (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 13 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Safety (Offences) Bill.
Health and Safety (Offences) Bill
I am grateful yet again to my hon. Friend, but on this occasion I have to throw myself on his mercy—and that of the House—because I do not know the particular number of prosecutions brought in Northern Ireland. I shall expand on the point later, but I do not condemn enforcing authorities if they have extremely high thresholds in respect of the rigour of the criteria that they apply before bringing prosecutions. The rigour of those criteria will become even more important in future when, under the Bill, the option of imprisonment will become far more widely available.
