Clause 2 - Request for arrest and surrender
International Criminal Court Bill [Lords]
12:30 pm
Mr Crispin Blunt (Reigate, Conservative)
I listened with interest to the Minister's reply, and I agree that, other than the unfortunate diversion down which we were taken by the hon. Member for Ilford, South, the debate has been excellent.
I wish to make it clear that the statute sat behind the amendment. It was important to debate the contents of the statute and the consequences that it has on the United Kingdom. I am grateful for the Minister's remarks, but I think that he overstated the effect of my amendments when he said that they would provide a massive let-out clause. The amendments do not let anyone out of anything.
It being One o'clock, The Chairman adjourned the Committee without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.
Adjourned till this day at half-past Four o'clock.
