Clause 76 - Conduct and benefit
Proceeds of Crime Bill
5:00 pm
Mr Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield, Conservative)
In fairness to the Minister, I suppose that it could be argued that if the phrase were to cover any property, it would have to read
''in that connection and any other connection''.
The word ''some'' had significance to the original draftsman, but it is opaque and the absence of the final ''connection'' does not help clarity.
I am grateful to the Minister for agreeing to reconsider the matter, and on that basis I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 76 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 77 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
