Clause 35
Serious Crime Bill [Lords]
5:30 pm
James Brokenshire (Shadow Minister (Police Reform), Home Affairs; Hornchurch, Conservative)
In the context of the previous debate, I rise to highlight the strange irony that the amendment should say that the Crown court is to be termed a criminal court for the purposes of clause 35, notwithstanding the fact that we are apparently talking about civil orders and a civil burden of proof. However, I note what the Minister said about the operation of the orders, even if there is some irony in the relation to the wording proposed.
