Proceeding contribution from Lady Hermon (Ulster Unionist Party) 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

May I draw the hon. Gentleman’s attention to the fact that clause 7 provides that no court can review a decision by the DPP unless there has been dishonesty or bad faith? The DPP’s decision cannot even be nullified"““by reason of lack of jurisdiction or error of law””." Surely to goodness, that provision is too narrow for the DUP to accept?
