Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) 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 grateful to the noble Baroness for giving way. Does she not appreciate that the defendant’s human rights are not affected. The rights of the defendant are in no way affected by evidence against him being withheld. This is not a question of the human rights of the defendant, it is the efficacy of the prosecution with which we are concerned. We want a more effective prosecution here, not an improvement of the defendant’s human rights.
