I am grateful to the Secretary of State and appreciate her indulgence.
Will the right hon. Lady clarify a point about the different penalties to which she has just referred? In one case, there is a fine of up to £20,000 and/or 51 weeks in prison; in the other, £5,000 and/or 51 weeks in prison. Can she explain the lack of equivalence between the financial penalty and the sentence of imprisonment in those two different offences?
