motion: <p class="" pid=".929.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move amendment No. 52, in page 4, line 30, leave out Clause 5.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid=".929.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">Clause 5 amends the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 in an important way by increasing from 24 to 36 hours the period for which a person may be detained without charge at a police station while a case against him is investigated in the case of any arrestable offence. That is a very substantial change to current practice proposed by the Government.</p>
