Schedule 6 - Amendments to the Crime and Disorder Act 1998
Police and Justice Bill

Nick Herbert (Shadow Minister (Police Reform), Home Affairs; Arundel and South Downs, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 140, in schedule 6, page 81, line 1, leave out subparagraph (5).
The amendment is probing. The explanatory notes relating to schedule 6 explain that paragraph 2 will enable
“the appropriate national authority to add to or otherwise change the list of responsible authorities”,
and suggests that that will be possible in Wales. Will the Minister explain that provision further, given that it confers on the Secretary of State the power to do that in future? What proposals do the Government have to change the list of responsible authorities and how will that affect crime and disorder reduction partnerships?
