Serious Crime Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Serious Crime Bill [HL].
My Lords, I take up the Minister’s very kind invitation. Will he direct his attention to paragraph (2) in the amendment? Can he explain to me now, or in writing, subparagraphs (2)(a), (b) and (c)? I am fascinated by the references to ““the Information Commissioner”” and, "““such other persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate””." Paragraph (4) is on an Act of the Scottish Parliament ““within the legislative competence””, and perhaps he might be able to enlighten me about that. I am not a lawyer, but I declare an interest as a member of the Chartered Accountants of Scotland. I wonder whether these provisions in combination will affect what is discussed in the amendment, let alone the position north of the border, if it is different—I suspect it could be—in Scots law, as opposed to the measure in front of us. Perhaps the noble Lord could write to me or, if he has any briefing on this, I shall of course listen with patience.
