Finance Bill

I have a great deal of sympathy with what the hon. Gentleman is saying: there is a need to identify which officers have arrestable powers. I am, however, concerned about amendment No. 20. It appears to preclude a customs officer at a port of entry having powers of arrest unless he is a member of the criminal investigations directorate; otherwise, he would need to be with a person in the office of constable to effect an arrest. That cannot be what the hon. Gentleman intends.
