Policing and Crime Bill

My Lords, the Bill already provides that a person affected by a detention order can apply for the discharge or variation of that order, or appeal against any decision made on the order. The amendment would also give third parties with an interest in the seized assets the right to make representations to the court in respect of hearings or to authorise further detention. In the other place the Government agreed to consider the scope for allowing third parties the opportunity to make representations, and I would be grateful if the Minister would update your Lordships’ House on where the Government have got to on that point. I beg to move.
