Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 3 March 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
Would the noble and learned Lord think me very churlish if I suggested that now it is clear that the Government are to retain the clause, they should set out clearly somewhere in it a point that is not mentioned at all—that is, that the onus of proof remains on the prosecution throughout? We as lawyers know that to be the case but it would do no harm at all to spell it out in bold print.
