I move amendment No. 20:

In page 22, line 24, after “offence” to insert “under the Customs Acts”.

Amendments Nos. 20 to 24, inclusive, deal with the same substantive point in one section. These are technical amendments to section 21 of the Bill which provide for the rules for court proceedings in relation to customs offences. The first four amendments clarify that section 21 applies to proceedings in respect of any offence under the Customs Acts. Consequently, the fifth amendment is to delete subsection (9), is superfluous.
