Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour Independent) in the House of Lords on Monday, 7 December 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (References to Financial Investigators) (Amendment) Order 2009.


Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (References to Financial Investigators) (Amendment) Order 2009

My Lords, that being the case, and given the answer my noble friend gave me about the negative resolution, which I fully accept in terms of consultation, if I had put the possible use and extension of these powers to the House in 2002, it would not have bought the negative procedure and would have demanded the affirmative procedure. I do not expect an answer to this question now, but will the Home Office look at whether, if the situation we have today was envisaged in 2002, it would have put the affirmative procedure in the Bill? If that is the case, this ought to be looked at again.
