Schedule 3:  Amendments of other Acts
184.This Schedule contains consequential amendments to the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 and to the Serious Crime Act 2007.
185.Under paragraph 1, the powers of seizure conferred by the Act are inserted in Schedule 1 to the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 which sets out the powers to which section 50 of the 2001 Act applies (additional powers of seizure from premises). The effect of this amendment is to extend the powers of seizure conferred by the Act in cases where it is not reasonably practicable for it to be determined on the premises whether or not property is seizable property and in cases where the seizable property is comprised in something from which it is not reasonably practicable for it to be separated.
186.The offence under section 2(2) of this Act will be added to the list of offences in Schedule 3 to the Serious Crime Act 2007. Under section 2(2) the Act contains a specific offence of assisting, encouraging and inducing another person to engage in prohibited conduct under section 2(1). The amendment will be made so as to avoid the possibility of a person being prosecuted under Part 2 of the Serious Crime Act 2007 for assisting or encouraging another person to assist, encourage or induce a contravention of section 2(1).
