Clause 52 - Warrants
Pensions Bill
4:00 pm
Mr George Osborne (Tatton, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 210, in
clause 52, page 34, line 44, at end insert
'unless there is a prior successful application to a justice of the peace to have the warrant revoked.'.
This is a probing amendment about the use of warrants that the regulator might obtain. It would amend subsection (5), which says:
''A warrant under this section continues in force until the end of the period of one month beginning with the day on which it is issued''
by stating the obvious, and merely adding:
''unless there is a prior successful application to a justice of the peace to have the warrant revoked.''
I assume that that is the case anyway, but I want to check with the Government.
