I move amendment No. 26:

In page 29, line 20, after “section 29” to insert “, or on board a conveyance that has been boarded under section 27,”.

The amendment provides for the power to carry out a search of a person who is at or in the vicinity of a port or airport, the coast, the land frontier or any premises or land being searched under a search warrant. This power is a necessary control provision to combat smuggling.
