Schedule 2
Serious Crime Bill [Lords]
5:30 pm
Douglas Hogg (Sleaford and North Hykeham, Conservative)
Clause 9 states:
“A serious crime prevention order may be made only on an application”,
but the effect of paragraphs 2(1) and (2) of schedule 2 is that the conduct of applications can be delegatedto a Crown Prosecutor. In other words, the Crown Prosecutor, in contrast with the director, has all the consequential decisions to make, as he has the conduct of the application.
