Criminal Justice (Mutual Assistance) Bill 2005: Report and Final Stages.
11:00 am
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
I move amendment No. 1:
In page 19, line 31, after "request;" to insert "and
(f) an account held by another person in any other circumstances on behalf of, or representing in whole or in part the property of, the first-mentioned person".
The Labour Party has proposed this amendment because it must be made clear that all forms of accounts are covered, whether they are held by a person or someone else on his or her behalf. The existing wording will not cover all situations. On Committee Stage, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform said he would consider the amendment for Report Stage.
