Amendment made: No. 956, in

clause 61, page 38, line 7, at end insert—

'(1A) Where a ruling relates to two or more offences but not all of those offences are the subject of an appeal under this Part, nothing in this Part is to be regarded as affecting the ruling so far as it relates to any offence which is not the subject of the appeal.

(1B) In relation to an appeal under this Part in respect of a ruling which relates only to one offence, any reference in this Part to the offence which is the subject of the appeal is a reference to that offence.

(1C) Where two or more defendants are charged jointly with the same offence, the provisions of this Part are to apply as if the offence, so far as relating to each defendant, were a separate offence (so that, for example, any reference in this Part to a ruling which relates to one or more offences includes a ruling which relates to one or more of those separate offences).'.—[Ms Harman.]

Clause 61, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
