FOCUS OF THE DAY: MPs have warned that the system for enforcing confiscation orders imposed by the courts is not working. The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) sets out the asset recovery scheme and other powers under which the government can seize the proceeds of a criminal’s activities. In 2014-15, £155m was collected by enforcement agencies. POCA has come under fire in the media for poor performance, for example, only £203m of £1.6bn in unenforced confiscation orders was deemed enforceable. Other examples cited in the press included a “Mr Big” paying £44,000 in private school fees while ignoring an outstanding £4m confiscation order, and criminals choosing to serve time in prison rather than pay back the proceeds of their crimes.

Today's video story: The Indian upper house of parliament, the Rajya Sabha passed a bill which prohibits employment of children below 14 years in all occupations or processes except where the child helps his family, with the provision for imprisonment up to two years for any violation. 'The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Bill' makes employment of children below 14 years as cognizable offence for employers and provides for penalty for parents. The Bill, which was almost unanimously passed by voice vote, defines children between 14-18 years as adolescents and lays down that they should not be employed in any hazardous occupations and processes. It provides for enhanced punishment for violators. The penalty for employing a child has been increased to imprisonment between 6 months and two years (from 3 months to one year) or a fine of Rs 20,000 to Rs 50,000 (from Rs 10,000-20,000) or both. The second time offence will attract imprisonment of one year to three years from the earlier 6 months and two years.

FOCUS OF THE DAY: The European court of justice ruling that bulk data collection is only lawful if it is used to tackle serious crime (Report, 20 July) makes it clearer than ever that the monstrous (in size and aims) investigatory powers bill currently passing through the House of Lords is simply not fit for purpose. The proposed legislation sanctions the mass collection of citizens’ telephone and email data – something that is both ineffective and, as we now know, unlawful – and fails to put in place sufficient safeguards against the misuse of the powers granted to the intelligence services.
