Criminal Justice and Courts Bill

Proceeding contribution from George Howarth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 February 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Justice and Courts Bill.

The hon. Gentleman is right to make the point that he does about minor traffic offences, but along with many others no doubt, I have been contacted by constituents who are concerned about where the boundary between a traffic offence that could be dealt with in the way he describes is drawn, and where it spills over into what is, in effect, a criminal offence. Does he agree that if the approach he advocates is adopted, great care needs to be taken to set the boundary?
