Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) BillContribution
This amendment allows a DWP authorised investigator in Scotland, while searching premises under a warrant, to seize an item they reasonably believe to be evidence of any offence (not just a DWP offence) if they reasonably believe it is necessary to do so to prevent the evidence being concealed, lost, altered or destroyed.
