Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill.


Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill

The Secretary of State referred to the circumstances in which the DPP would go to a judge, which, I think, would be acceptable to those on both sides of the House. As I read clause 1, however, the DPP does not have to go to a judge; he issues a certificate, hands it to the judge, and that is the end of the matter.
