an investigation and provision is made to include them

by amending section 14(1)(a) and (c). Section 14(1)(d)

is amended to make it clear that where a person is by

notice required to attend before an investigating officer

to be asked questions relevant to the investigation

those questions need not be specified in the notice.

Clauses 7 and 8 make a number of related

amendments with respect to notices and orders restricting

dealings by a suspected person with property held by him

or by a third party on his behalf.

8.

Clause 7 amends section 14A

(a) to make it clear that a notice issued by the

Commissioner under that section to a suspect

will, unless it otherwise provides, apply

also to the income from the property specified

in the notice; and

(b) to enable a notice to remain in force once

a prosecution has commenced, until proceedings

on the prosecution are finalized (as is

presently the case with restraining orders

under section 14C) and, if a confiscation

or monetary penalty order is made on

conviction, until that order is complied

with.
