I move amendment No. 286 :—
In line 59, after " months ", to add " or to a fine not exceeding £20 or to both such imprisonment and such fine ".
It is not necessary to say very much on this amendment because I have the feeling that the Minister will accept it. The section provides that a recruit who gives a false answer to any question in an attestation paper will be brought before a district court and sentenced to imprisonment for any term not exceeding three months. To that I want to add " or to a fine not exceeding £20 or to both such imprisonment and such fine ". It is designed to give a district justice discretion in proper cases to impose a fine.
