Section 12: Powers to investigate criminal offences

73.Section 12 applies investigation powers, and their accompanying safeguards, to investigations by HMRC of criminal offences under NMWA 1998.

74.Subsection (1) applies provisions of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 to investigations conducted by HMRC in relation to criminal offences under section 31 of NMWA 1998. These provisions will allow HMRC officers, for example, to apply for production orders and search warrants or to arrest a person suspected of committing an offence, in the same circumstances as these powers would be used in investigating other offences for which HMRC is the responsible investigating body.

75.Subsection (2) applies HMRC’s normal Scottish criminal investigation powers to investigations of NMW criminal offences in Scotland.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
