§ Lords Amendment : In page 6, line 28, leave out "in respect of each offence."
§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESWe discussed this point in the Standing Committee. Would the Minister now tell us whether the omission of these words means, that the person would be fined for committing one offence, and be sent to prison only for committing more than one offence?
Sir H. YOUNGThis is a purely drafting Amendment consequential upon an Amendment moved in Committee, which provided that a person should not be liable to imprisonment for the first offence. The imprisonment is possible only in the case of a second offence.
§ Remaining Lords Amendments agreed to.
