Question on the amendments proposed, put and agreed to.
Question on clauses 6, 21 and 23, as amended, proposed, put and agreed to.
Clause 8
MR. PETER WONG: Sir, I move that clause 8 be amended as set out in the paper circulated to Members.
In clause 8(3), the proposed inclusion of a new clause (3A) aims to specify that the term of imprisonment fixed in respect of a confiscation order shall not begin to run until after the end of the term of imprisonment the defendant has served in respect of the offence or offences concerned. It further specifies that consecutive terms and terms which are wholly or partly concurrent shall be treated as a single term.
Sir, with these remarks, I beg to move.
