I beg to move amendment No. 56, in clause 9, page 5, line 18, at end insert—
‘(2A)In section 32 (police powers to gather information relating to flights and voyages to or from the United Kingdom) after subsection (1) insert—
“(1A)A circuit judge may on the application of a constable of the rank of superintendent or above issue a warrant in relation to specified passenger or service information under this section if he is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the nature of the information is such that there are likely to be circumstances in which it can be required under subsection (2).”’.
