Serious Crime Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Serious Crime Bill [HL].
My Lords, the Minister will be aware that the three ways of using the power are set out separately in the Act under Section 5 and Section 32. There is no interdependence between them. The Act does not state that the economic well-being should be read in the light of the security of the nation. As I said in my remarks, there is a code of practice relating to Section 5 which makes that explicit link, but there is also a code of practice covering surveillance. That does not make the link; it makes no mention of it whatever. The natural interpretation would therefore remain. Will the Minister comment on that?
