Clause 3 - General requirements for service of process
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]
2:30 pm
Mr David Heath (Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
I ask the hon. Gentleman to indulge in more pin dancing.
I have read the clause again during the adjournment. There is nothing in it that would get the translation to the person who is required to receive it. Unlike the Scottish version in clause 5, in which the prosecutor is required to send the copy of the translation in parenthesis to the person on whom it
is served, elsewhere in Britain it only goes to the court. Will the hon. Gentleman reflect on that?
