Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
That question relates to cases where a charge other than a terrorist is charge is brought in the first instance. In Scotland, at least, it would be for the court to decide whether or not a person is admitted to bail. Such a question would be determined on the basis of the procurator fiscal bringing charges. The concept of police bail is one with which I have no familiarity, but I see no barrier to questioning taking place after someone has been admitted to bail. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman knows of examples to the contrary. I am mindful of the fact that I am skirting around a subject—English evidence and procedure—in which I am scantily qualified.
