Clause 35 - Searches: contracting out
Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill
5:00 pm
Humfrey Malins (Shadow Minister, (Assisted By Shadow Law Officers); Woking, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman makes a point about the powers of search, which are critical. I also serve on the Committee considering the Violent Crime Reduction Bill, which contains very similar powers of search in relation to school children. The Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill refers to a
“coat, a jacket or a glove”,
which can be taken off, whereas the Violent Crime Reduction Bill refers to a
“coat, a jacket, gloves and a hat”.
Does the hon. Gentleman believe that to be an omission from this Bill?
