HL Deb 22 July 1998 vol 592 c1012

96 Clause 104, page 85, line 40, at end insert— (""caution" has the same meaning as in Part V of the Police Act 1997;").

Lord Williams of Mostyn

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 96.

In this group are Amendments Nos. 96 and 167. Amendment No. 167 extends the power that the Secretary of State already has under Section 27(4) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 to require the police to record on national police records convictions for offences specified by regulation to cautions as defined in the 1997 Act and to reprimands and warnings under Clause 61. Amendment No. 96 sets out a definition of "caution" for the purpose of the Bill. I beg to move.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 96.—(Lord Williams of Mostyn.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
