Proceeding contribution from Lord Fox (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 May 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Covid-19: Strategy.


Covid-19: Strategy

My Lords, the Prime Minister’s Statement announced an escalation in the level of fines. The debate earlier this afternoon highlighted how much confusion there is around legally enforceable regulations and non-enforceable guidelines, and the noble Lord, Lord Mackenzie, highlighted the difficulties the police have. In order to develop some clarity, perhaps the Minister could give just two specific examples of public behaviour which the new increased fines are designed to stop.
