Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harris of Richmond (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill.

Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill

I thank the noble and learned Lord for giving me his explanation of how he feels the DPP will know exactly what the strength of the friendship is. I still find it difficult to imagine how he will come to that conclusion and from where he will draw his knowledge. Who is to know who is a close friend, relative or whatever? However, I will reflect on what he has said. We may well come back to this matter with even better suggestions on Report. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 13 not moved.] Clause 1 agreed to. Clauses 2 to 6 agreed to.
