I beg to move amendment 230, in clause 58, page 71, leave out lines 18 and 19 and insert—

‘(2) For subsections (2) and (3) substitute—

“(2) The person must be brought before the appropriate judge within 48 hours starting with the time when the person is arrested.

(2A) The documents specified in subsection (4) must be produced to the judge within 48 hours starting with the time when the person is arrested but this is subject to any extension under subsection (3B).

(2B) Subsection (3) applies if—

(a) the person has been brought before the judge in compliance with subsection (2); but

(b) documents have not been produced to the judge in compliance with subsection (2A).

(3) The person must be brought before the judge when the documents are produced to the judge.”’.
