Debate on whether Clause 26 should stand part of the Bill.
Going back to the matters we were discussing earlier today, in Clause 26(2), at new subsection (1A)(a), we have, "““officials of the Secretary of State exercising customs functions””,"
and in new paragraph (c) we have the Secretary of State, "““in so far as the Secretary of State has general customs functions””."
Are we to take it that designated customs officials and officials of the Secretary of State exercising ““customs functions”” are now the balancing words for general customs matters? Unless that is so, I am puzzled as to why there are quite separate duties for the chief inspector when surveying the efficiency of people in two separate categories.
