Clause 20 - Further uses connected with the prevention and detection of crime
Identity Cards Bill
11:30 am

Alistair Carmichael (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Orkney and Shetland, Liberal Democrat)

Subsection (4)(b) deals with the authorisation of provision of information if it is provided

“for purposes connected with the prevention or detection of serious crime.”

I am curious to know why the word “serious” is included when it is not included in any other definition in the Bill.
