Does my right hon. A person claiming to be in transit through the country could be just as big a criminal as someone who is resident here, but would escape justice.
Friend seems to suggest.
The concept of residence is not novel in law, and I am sure that the courts will be confident and comfortable when it comes to dealing with it. In addition, the templates of other comparable statutes, such as the one passed in Canada, contain a provision for universal jurisdiction, rather than a residential qualification that is subject to interpretation. I hope that the Government will reconsider that in Committee. A question has been raised about executive jurisdiction, and I want to ask my right hon. My right hon.
