Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
We understand the concern about private prosecutions. Our intention is that only prosecutions that have had the sanction of the Director of Public Prosecutions under this legislation would be possible. We do not propose that private prosecutions using these provisions will be possible within our jurisdiction. So, there will be no private prosecutions. We will look at this very carefully. If on further scrutiny there is any ambiguity about that, I will seek to ensure that there is appropriate amendment in the Bill to put that beyond doubt.
