Clause 172 - Interpretation
Extradition Bill
3:00 pm
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 171, in
clause 172, page 91, line 34, at end insert—
'(c) in Scotland has the meaning given by section 33 of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995.'.
As I suggested, the Law Society of Scotland has helpfully sent us some possible amendments. I am slightly disappointed that the hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Mr. Carmichael) is not with us. I make no criticism of that, because he has been an extremely diligent member of the Committee, as he has been of all the Committees on which I have served with him, but I had hoped that we would have our Scots expert with us to talk about the provision.
