Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fraud (Trials without a Jury) Bill.


Fraud (Trials without a Jury) Bill

May I reinforce the point that the hon. Gentleman is making? If one puts 21counts on the indictment, one then has to adduce evidence as to those 21 counts. That is likely to be extremely confusing for a jury, who will face an inordinate and quite unnecessary amount of evidence.
