HC Deb 31 March 1981 vol 2 c224
Mr. Mayhew

I beg to move amendment No. 8, in page 2, line 31[Clause 2] at end insert— `(ee) provisions conferring a power of seizure and detention of property;'. The amendment repairs a minor omission in the list of procedural and similar provisions in clause 2(2). The purpose of the clause is to ensure that where specific procedural or other provisions of the kind set out in the clause apply to an offence they should also apply to an attempt to commit that offence. Thus, paragraph(g) ensures that any power of forfeiture applies to art attempt as it applies to the full offence. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that the same is true of any power to seize and detain property.

Amendment agreed to.
