Deregulation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 June 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Deregulation Bill.

There was a case in the local Slough magistrates court on these issues very recently, and those who were charged were found guilty and fined extensively. The comments from the magistracy are interesting. The court said that they regarded this as a very serious set of offences, putting the public at risk and depriving legitimate drivers of income. They were particularly concerned that the trigger incident involved a lone female being collected late at night from Wexham Park hospital. Is that not evidence that these sorts of changes are required?
