Clause 49 - Power to make provision for enforcement of other orders
International Criminal Court Bill [Lords]
11:15 am
Mr John Battle (Minister of State, Foreign & Commonwealth Office; Leeds West, Labour)
I would compliment organisations such as Amnesty International, Save the Children and the Medical Foundation. However, I remind the hon. Lady that the Bill is part of a legislative process. To the best of my knowledge, those organisations have been kept in close contact throughout the formation of the legislation. They were engaged in the consultation process, and they also had access to officials in the other place as the legislative process went through the other place and the House of Commons. They have had at least two or three meetings with officials during the process. We will do our best to meet their concerns.
