Question on the amendment proposed, put and agreed to.

Question on clause 20, as amended, proposed, put and agreed to.

Clauses 22 and 24

MR. MICHAEL CHENG: Sir, I move that clauses 22 and 24 be amended as set out in the paper circulated to Members.

The proposed amendment to replace "" by "" in clause 22(1)(b) aims to achieve better consistency as "" was being used in clause 18(1)(a) and in the other Ordinances. We consider that "" was a better Chinese equivalent for "seize" in the context of this Bill.

In clause 24(2), "" is commonly used as the Chinese equivalent of "defence". To convey more accurately the legal effect of this term in Chinese, the Administration's proposal to use "" which in full means "K

" has the support of the ad hoc group.

Sir, I beg to move.
