Policing and Crime Bill

My Lords, this amendment arises from the Joint Committee on Human Rights. The Bill states: ""Nothing in section 153A or 153C requires the return of a person to a territory in a case in which the Secretary of State is not satisfied that the return is compatible with the Convention rights within the meaning of the Human Rights Act 1998"." We have suggested that the sentence should simply state that, ""the return is not compatible"." In other words, it is not a question of the Secretary of State being satisfied, just that the return itself is not satisfactory. This is simpler, better and less open to discretion and doubt. I beg to move.
