Clause 13 - Requests for assistance from overseas authorities
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]
9:10 am
Mr David Heath (Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
I am a little puzzled by the hon. Gentleman's argument. Under statute, the Secretary of States means the entire Government, not an individual Secretary of States. The Bill refers to the relevant Secretary of State for the purposes of enactment.
