Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Lochbroom (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
Before the noble Baroness sits down, she referred to the report from Sir Swinton Thomas about the law enforcement agencies. Obviously I do not know who they were or whether they included the prosecution. Is the noble Baroness suggesting that the reasons that particular material should be withheld from a court are not susceptible to being explained to a prosecution or to someone of the order of the Lord Advocate or the Attorney-General so that they can question whether those reasons are well founded and, if they are, accept them and not make any use of that material, although it may be known that the law enforcement agencies, by whom I suspect she means the police, and those authorities have acted in the light of that?
