Accountability · outcome beside Green Book evidence
Crime (Overseas Production Orders) Act 2019 became law. The official papers we read covered some Green Book cases well and left gaps in others. For accountability, the outcome sits beside a mixed evidence trail — worth reading the case notes below.
Strategic: Crime (Overseas Production Orders) Act 2019 Skip to navigation legislation.gov.uk https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk Cymraeg Home Explore our collections Research tools Help and guidance What's new About us Search Legislation Crime (Overseas Production Orders) Act 2019 You are here: UK Public General Acts 2019 c.

Economic: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not give a figure in pounds for what it would cost or save. That is not a yes or no on the bill.
Commercial: (5) A person mentioned in any of sub-paragraphs (ii) to (v) of subsection (1)(b) may exercise a function conferred by a provision of this Act only if authorised to do so by a procurator fiscal. (6) A certificate of a procurator fiscal that a person mentioned in any of sub-paragraphs (ii) to (v) of subsection (1)(b) had authority to exercise a function conferred by a provision of this Act is conclusive evidence of that fact.
Financial: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say who would pay for it, or where the money would come from.
Management: (5) In this Act “designated international co-operation arrangement” means a relevant treaty which— (a) relates (in whole or in part) to the provision of mutual assistance in connection with the investigation or prosecution of offences, and (b) is designated by the Secretary of State by regulations. (6) For the purposes of subsection (5) a treaty is a relevant treaty if a Minister of the Crown has laid before Parliament a copy of the treaty under section 20(1)(a) of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010.
This is an accountability reading, not a recommendation and not a score. It does not say whether Parliament should have passed or rejected the bill. It only sets the actual parliamentary outcome beside how complete the Green Book five-case evidence was in the official papers.
These UK Acts sit in a similar policy space and are already law. Pairing uses this proposal’s official papers (and the plain-English note themes). It is not a verdict that the proposal is redundant or unnecessary.
