Clause 20 - Overseas freezing orders
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]
11:00 am
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
No, it does not entirely clarify them. I agree with what the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome said. I will listen with interest to what the Minister has to say about the matter, but this part of the Bill would be improved if it were made clear that it was a judicial authority. Of course, I understand the hon. Lady's point.
