I move amendment No. 5:
In page 7, to delete line 37.
Amendment No. 43 deletes section 7(2)(n) which provides for a victim to receive information about a child who has been remanded in custody to a remand centre. However, section 7(2)(k) already provides for a victim to be provided with information about the release or escape of a person who has been remanded in custody. A person in this subsection includes a child and, accordingly, section 7(2)(n) duplicates what is already provided for in section 7(2)(k), making it is unnecessary.
Amendment No. 5 deletes the definition of a remand centre in section 2.
