Clause 8 - Recoverable amount
Proceeds of Crime Bill

Mr Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield, Conservative)
The Minister has touched on a point that will arise when we discuss a later amendment. Who comes within the category of victim? Will they be the victims of the individual offences of which the person has been found guilty, or, more generally, will they be the victims of the general criminal conduct, who may emerge during the investigation? I have always assumed that it was the former, not the latter. There is some imprecision, and I should be grateful for some clarification.
