Proceeding contribution from Lord Robertson of Port Ellen (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 18 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Interception of Communications (Admissibility of Evidence) Bill [HL].


Interception of Communications (Admissibility of Evidence) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am sure that clever lawyers could draw up a precise framework and even cleverer lawyers will be able to find their way round it. That is the point made by my noble friend Lady Ramsay. Depending on the discretion of the judge—at the end of the day, that is what we would be depending on—the defence can range far and wide, as it has done in the past, and compromise material that should not be compromised.
