Clause 10 - Available amount
Proceeds of Crime Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield, Conservative)
The Minister's remarks surprise me. Our job is to scrutinise the Bill. If there are areas in it that need to be strengthened, we shall suggest ways in which that can be done. It is difficult to see areas in which the Bill could be strengthened, as I think is the Government's intention. Indeed, if we were to embark on such a strategy, we might end up with a regime such as that run by Mola Omar. We are heading gently in that direction as it is. If legitimate areas require strengthening for the purpose of ensuring justice, we shall table the appropriate amendments.
