Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee Stage
6:00 pm
Dominic Hannigan (Labour)
I will speak briefly on amendment No. 6. We are concerned that the Bill as drafted has no penalties for breach of the obligations set out in it. Amendment No. 6 would insert a clause calling for penalties such as a term of imprisonment of ten years or a fine or both. We believe this would strengthen the Bill.
