Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.

Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, I cannot accept that these things will be based on tittle-tattle, but I realise that that was a provocative observation by the noble Earl. I understand that he is really talking about hearsay. We must be guided by the process, which should be carried through. Clearly if it is felt that it would be inappropriate to proceed, the matter must be considered by the court because the case is the court’s property. I will happily clarify this in the correspondence which the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, has provoked by asking his very practical and practically focused question. On Question, amendment agreed to.
