Crime and Courts Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Crime and Courts Bill [HL].

I know that noble Lords do not want me to take any more time because people need to move on. My only other small point is that the Minister referred to risk as being the main indicator of the need for action rather than impairment. I would suggest that the two are incredibly closely related. The importance of impairment is to avoid discrimination against certain groups and the stopping of drivers in particular communities when there may be no indication of an impairment of driving. It is those matters which we should be aware of. That said, at this stage anyway, I will withdraw the amendment although I may come back at Third Reading because we still await the outcome of the expert panel’s deliberations.
