Laser Misuse (Vehicles) Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 February 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Laser Misuse (Vehicles) Bill [HL].

I am grateful to the Minister for that explanation. I just want to clarify something I said earlier, because if I do not, the lawyers will start nitpicking at vast expense. Presumably “vehicle” in Amendment 7 includes trains—I think it should. Does it include bicycles, and people on bicycles? The controller of the vehicle is the person at whom the laser may be directed. Then we have things called segways, scooters and single-wheel segways. If they are all vehicles, that is fine by me, but I hope people will not start nitpicking and say, “Well, it’s not this, it’s the other”. I hope the definition is comprehensive.
