Crime and Courts Act 2013 (Consequential Amendments) Order 2015

Lord Rosser Excerpts

Thursday 22nd January 2015 Grand Committee

[Lord Rosser (Lab)]

I thank the Minister for her explanation of the reasons for and purpose of the order. The order amends the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 to add immigration officers to the officers to whom the code of practice governing the exercise of the powers concerned will apply. The order also defines “senior officer” in relation to an immigration officer.

As the Minister has said, the order addresses an oversight at the time of the passing of the Crime and Courts Act 2013. We accept the need to rectify situation.

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Rosser, for his brief comments. With that, I commend the order to the Committee.
