Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 21: 21: Schedule 13, page 224, line 40, leave out ““fine or other”” The noble Baroness said: My Lords, I shall also speak to Amendments Nos. 22 to 29 inclusive. This group of amendments correct minor drafting errors in some of the consequential amendments set out in Schedule 13. They are being laid in an effort to ensure that the consequential amendments regarding taking control of goods in Schedule 13 achieve the desired result. Amendments Nos. 21 and 22 correct consequential amendments to Section 104 of the Criminal Justice Act 1967, paragraph 30 of Schedule 13. Section 104 currently refers to ““any sum of money””, whereas paragraph 30 of Schedule 13 incorrectly refers to, "““a fine or other sum””." The proposed amendments simply correct that. Amendments Nos. 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 correct consequential amendments to the Local Government Finance Acts 1988 and 1992—paragraphs 89, 107 and 108 of Schedule 13—making it clear that it is the relevant billing authority and not the Secretary of State who has the right to use the procedure laid down in Schedule 12 to this Bill to recover outstanding sums of non-domestic rates and council tax. Amendment No. 28 revises the consequential amendment to Section 5 of the Road Traffic (NHS Charges) Act 1999—paragraph 130 of Schedule 13. Paragraph 130 of Schedule 13 makes provision until a repeal comes into force; the repeal is now in force, so the amendment brings the provision up to date. Amendment No. 29 corrects consequential amendments to Section 78 of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000—paragraph 133 ofSchedule 13. Section 78 currently refers to ““a fine”” whereas paragraph 133 of Schedule 13 incorrectly refers to a ““fine or other sum””. The proposed amendment corrects this. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to.
