Proceeding contribution from Humfrey Malins (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Legislative debate on Criminal Law.
Criminal Law
The Under-Secretary is being generous in giving way, and she is taking the argument seriously, which we all appreciate. However, given that a penalty notice apparently does not require an admission of guilt and does not result in any record of a criminal conviction, what will the position be in court when the magistrate or the district judge asks for a list of matters known against the defendant, which are vital in sentencing? Will there be absolutely nothing, or something?
