Proceeding contribution from Lord Mayhew of Twysden (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 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

I wish to ask a question that is not intended to be a trick question and may turn out to be a silly one. What are the circumstances in which a presumption may be rebutted? I can understand a requirement that particular action should be taken, but where one comes across a presumption that it shall, one expects to see an explanation as to how that presumption may be rebutted. Perhaps that can be answered at some later time, if not today.
