Will the noble Lord give way on that? The Proceeds of Crime Act was used recently in relation to a chemist who fiddled £350-worth of prescriptions and had £212,000-worth of stuff taken away from him. That was overtaken on appeal, but the Proceeds of Crime Act can be used as an extra punishment and we should be very wary of those provisions. I hope that the noble Lord will take that into account when he takes further advice.
