Fraud Bill [HL]

I entirely agree with what the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd, has said, except that it argues the other way. The difficulty is that when you start to put in further words which qualify dishonesty, or which give the impression that if you knew something might be misleading it would then lead back to your state of mind and the question of whether you were acting dishonestly, you are, in a sense, putting an unnecessary danger for a defendant.
