Clause 3 - Accreditation and training
Proceeds of Crime Bill
12:30 pm
Mr Ian Lucas (Wrexham, Labour)
I, too, urge the Minister to reject the amendment. The creation of a system of accredited financial investigators will form an important check and balance on the director of the agency. That will make the agency more effective, because any complaints about a person's conduct can be measured against that system. There is no reason why the director cannot be closely involved in setting up the accreditation system of financial investigators. It is important that the system is put in place, and that the director helps to set it up.
