Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 3 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Identity Documents Bill.


Identity Documents Bill

In other words, one can commit an offence under Clause 6 without knowing that one is doing so. I do not mean not knowing about the law; it is not an excuse not to know what the law provides. In this case, do you not need to know, for instance, that an identity document in your possession is false or has been improperly obtained?
