Clause 27 - Passenger and crew information: police powers
Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill
12:30 pm
John Leech (Manchester, Withington, Liberal Democrat)
I beg to move amendment No. 116, in clause 27, page 13, line 30, leave out ‘generally or’.
I shall be brief. The effect of the amendment would be to prohibit the Secretary of State from making orders that apply generally. Will the Minister clarify whether passenger information orders under paragraph 17(2) of schedule 7 to the Terrorism Act 2000, as amended, and the Schedule 7 to the Terrorism Act 2000 (Information) Order 2002, include the power to make orders that apply generally, rather than requiring that a specific written order be made in respect of each vehicle? If that is the case, why was it felt necessary to take a different approach as far as this clause is concerned?
