Commentary on provisions of Act Section 3: Offences in connection with licences
Subsection (1) makes it an offence for a person, in connection with a glue trap licence application, to (a) make a statement or representation, or provide a document or information, which the person knows to be false in a material particular, or (b) recklessly make a statement or representation, or provide a document or information, which is false in a material particular.
	Subsection (2) specifies that a person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 51 weeks or a fine of any amount (or both).
	However, until section 281(5) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 comes into force, the maximum custodial sentence will be six months (see subsection (3)).
