Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

That is a private argument—or indeed now a public argument—between the right hon. Gentleman and people who may believe in the same God but have different interpretations of that God. As I was saying, there is the problem of catalysing private prosecutions. That has an impact on the livelihood of people seeking to work in the arts, theatre, literature and publishing.
