Policing and Crime Bill

My Lords, this is a probing amendment. It would replace the existing requirement that sees property being released if at any time the appropriate officer "decides" that the detention condition is no longer met. It would instead require that the officer kept under constant review whether the detention condition was no longer met and release the property if it was not. In effect, I am saying that it would be good to have a procedure, not simply a requirement that could be exercised on no particular basis by the existing officer. I beg to move.
