Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

My hon. Friend is absolutely right: the DPP took the action to draw up the guidelines because he was instructed to do so by a judicial decision. There has been recent extensive debate in the House of Lords on the matter. It is some time since we debated the matter in this House. We have no plans to change the law, but it is open to hon. Members to seek opportunities to debate the matter further, either on the Adjournment in Westminster Hall or on Opposition days.
