Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 June 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The hon. Gentleman will forgive me if I do not comment specifically, as I know no more about that case than what he has told us, but it sounds as if it is a serious matter. Discretion rests with courts to deal with non-material errors without having to require acquittal in certain circumstances. I will pass on his concerns to my right hon. Friends the Attorney-General and the Secretary of State for Justice. If he can provide me with more information, I will follow this up.
