Clause 5 - General requirements for effecting Scottish citation etc.
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]
3:00 pm
Mr Bob Ainsworth (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Coventry North East, Labour)
As the hon. Gentleman acknowledged, he did not really expected me to answer on issues that are to do with the Scottish version of clause 3. We have consulted the Scotland Office and the Scottish Executive on the frame of the clause, but it might be best for me to give the hon. Gentleman a commitment to again consult those with expertise on Scottish law from the Scottish Executive and Scotland Office. Of course, I will copy any reply I give him to other members of the Committee.
