Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.
Police and Justice Bill
My Lords, it is not simply material. Section 8 of PACE allows a constable to enter and search if there are reasonable grounds for believing that an indictable offence has been committed and there is material on the premises that is likely to assist in the investigation of the offence. If someone was being rendered unlawfully across our airspace and being unlawfully imprisoned, we believe that they would fall within Section 8. That is our view of where the law currently is. So it is covered.
