Clause 69 - Financial reporting orders: making
Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Tony McWalter (Hemel Hempstead, Labour/Co-operative)
I want to have just one more go without being slagged off, as I was this morning. It is obvious that a relatively trivial offence is sometimes the tip of an iceberg and creates a suspicion that the fact that a person has been caught with his hand in the till is not a one-off but part of a sophisticated operation that merits the name ''serious organised crime''. It is that suspicion that precipitates the provision that we are considering. Does not the hon. Gentleman understand that that is exactly what is needed to get to grips with what is happening in organised crime?
