Clause 8 - Recoverable amount
Proceeds of Crime Bill

Mr George Foulkes (Minister of State, Scottish Office; Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley, Labour/Co-operative)
As I understand it—unless I have got it wrong—we have already dealt with the question of the available amount. When the available amount is less than the defendant's benefit, ``You cannot take the breeks off a Hielan'man''. A Hielan'man wears a kilt; he does not own breeks, so they cannot be taken away from him. I am sure that the hon. Member for Spelthorne understands what I am saying.
