Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL]

I rise to speak to Amendment No. 12, which would leave out paragraph 7 of the new schedule in Amendment No. 11. It is a technical point. I note that paragraph 7 provides for an offence on contravening the forced marriage order in Northern Ireland, which does not seem to tally exactly with the power of arrest in new Section 63I to L, which attach to the contravention of an order in England or Wales. I want to establish that this is a technical difference which in no way gives the police in Northern Ireland powers of remanding an individual that are in excess of their counterparts in England and Wales.
