Clause 27
Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill
5:45 pm
Lady Hermon (North Down, UUP)
I beg to move amendment No. 31, in clause 27, page 18, line 27, at end insert—
‘(1A) Section 112 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (power to direct a person to leave a place) extends to Northern Ireland.'.
I am delighted to speak to yet another miscellaneous provision in the Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. The clause covers for the first time a subject that has not been mentioned—the extension to Northern Ireland of the provisions of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. The amendment is fairly obviously a probing amendment. It proposes extending to Northern Ireland section 112 of that Act.
