Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Defence Service Bill [HL].


Criminal Defence Service Bill [Lords]

The hon. Gentleman makes a valid and important point. We will ensure that the assessment is made at the earliest opportunity, possibly at the point of arrest, before people have a chance to try to disperse their assets. I am happy to hold further discussions, however, about the best time for assessment.
