CODES OF PRACTICE: SUPPLEMENTARY

HC Deb 15 March 2000 vol 346 c445

Mr. Charles Clarke

I beg to move amendment No. 27, in page 48, line 9, leave out "(with appropriate modification s)".

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to discuss Government amendments Nos. 28, 91 to 93, 110, 111 and 120.

Mr. Clarke

Amendments Nos. 27, 28 and 91 to 93 tidy up the position on how to deal with modifying codes of practice. Amendments Nos. 110, 111 and 120 remove the bar in the Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1988 on applying the PACE codes to the detention of terrorist suspects in Northern Ireland. [Interruption.]

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. Could we have some order in the House?

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 28, in page 48, line 10, leave out— 'the first issue of a' and insert "an original".—[Mrs. McGuire.]
