Lords amendment: No. 60, in page 23, line 27, at end insert (aa) has not at any time been in police detention for the offence; and

Mr. Shaw

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to take Lords amendments Nos. 61, 62 and 296.

Mr. Shaw

Amendment No. 60 honours an undertaking given on Report in this House to make it clear that the power of arrest conferred by the clause may be exercised only if the person convicted of an offence was not properly in police custody. Amendment No. 61 gives such a person a minimum period of seven days to go to a police station to be fingerprinted before the power of arrest can bite. Amendments Nos. 62 and 296 are drafting amendments.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 61 and 62 agreed to.
