I move amendment No. 1a:

In page 4, after line 47, to insert the following:

"(6) Without prejudice to section 15 of the Enforcement of Court Orders Act 1926, the debtor shall furnish such information (including information on oath and subject to cross examination) as may be directed by the court for the purposes of any application under this section.".

Section 15 of the 1926 Act allows the court to direct the debtor to furnish information to enable the court to make appropriate orders, bearing in mind his or her means. The amendment ensures that such powers are available in an application for imprisonment.
