Clause 22 - No order made: reconsideration of benefit
Proceeds of Crime Bill
12:45 pm
Mr Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield, Conservative)
My hon. Friend is right, but inserting the words ``now'' and ``originally'' into the provision would make clear the intention of the clause. I commend the amendment to the Minister and hope that we shall not be told that it would affect the clause, because it would not. Similar amendments could be tabled at other points in the Bill, but the addition of those two words would make it immediately clear what the Bill wants to achieve. Otherwise, we would have to rethink the intention behind the clause. For those reasons, I commend the amendments to the Committee. If the Minister says that he will accept them, but that he would prefer to reword them so that the infinitive is not split, I shall agree immediately.
