Clause 43 - Information about a person's bank account
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]

Mr David Heath (Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
In a genuine spirit of inquiry, I wonder why the hon. Gentleman tabled this amendment to the clause, which appears primarily to deal with banking transactions outside the United Kingdom, rather than inside it. I wonder whether overseas banks would be more likely to use this ploy than banking institutions in this country.
