Clause 69 - Financial reporting orders: making
Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill
2:45 pm
Mr Jonathan Djanogly (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Huntingdon, Conservative)
Having heard the Minister's answer, I am not entirely convinced that leaving things as they are will lead to the clause being either proportionate or administratively realistic. I know that doubts were expressed as to whether magistrates would commit on the basis that they might not know about the availability of the orders, but I assume that the prosecution would have reminded the court at the time, so I cannot imagine them being forgotten about.
We do not, however, intend to take the matter further at the moment, and I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 69 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
