Part of Rehabilitation of Offenders (Amendment) Bill [HL] – in the House of Lords at 11:10 am on 15 July 2011.
My Lords, this is purely a drafting amendment to correct a drafting error in the Bill. It deletes paragraph (d) of new Section 5(1) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act which the Bill would insert into the principal Act. Paragraph (d) refers to the new subsection (9A) which an earlier version of the Bill would have inserted but which is no longer in the Bill. This reference to the subsection was inadvertently left in the current version of the Bill. I beg to move.
