Clause 5 - Exchange of information with overseas authorities
Social Security Fraud Bill [Lords]
4:45 pm
Mrs Jacqui Lait (Beckenham, Conservative)
The Under-Secretary may or may not believe this, but I now understand the meaning of ``impliedly'', although that does not mean that I like the word. I have some sympathy with it, but I wish that we could simplify the wording in the legislation so that we do not have to go through this process. It is ironic that the lawyers understand the meaning of ``impliedly'', but do not believe that there is a difference between conditionality and the word ``appears''. Never mind.
As I understand that rather horrible word, and now that its precise meaning is on the record, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 5 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 6 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
