Clause 9 - Defendant's benefit
Proceeds of Crime Bill
12:30 pm
Mr George Foulkes (Minister of State, Scottish Office; Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley, Labour/Co-operative)
That is what I was about to say, Mr. Gale. We shall consider that question when we reach clause 11, which I am thankful to say is being dealt with by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary.
We could insert the word ``criminal'' before the word ``conduct'' in clause 9, because it is about the calculation of the benefit rather than the available amount. We may examine that idea. However, I hope that, following my explanations, the Committee will agree that clause 9 should stand part of the Bill.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 9 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
