Clause 55 - Duty to give notice to foreign
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]
4:44 pm
Mr James Paice (South East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
I find it ironic that some of the time we are tying to include in the Bill what is in the convention, then the Minister resists including something because it is not in the convention. It is somewhat perverse that we cannot understand why something is not in the Bill, despite the fact that it is in the convention, and yet the reverse argument is used against us. The amendments do not represent big issues, so I shall not detain the Committee any longer. I am grateful for the Minister's comments, and I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
