Clause 20 - Overseas freezing orders
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]
11:00 am
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
Despite the fact that the hon. Gentleman has been quite critical of my comments on earlier groups of amendments and some of the things that my hon. Friend the Member for South-East Cambridgeshire said, it is a genuine pleasure to rise to support him. There are occasions on which we agree, and it is not a Lib-Lab pact flying high. On this occasion, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats are both trying to introduce some sensible safeguards. I strongly support the hon. Gentleman's remarks on amendment No. 134. We feel that the Bill would be clearer if the word ''judicial'' were introduced.
