Proceeding contribution from Betty Williams (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Witness Anonymity.


Witness Anonymity

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on the way in which he has dealt with what I am sure all hon. Members appreciate is a difficult issue. Does he agree that if the Government were not taking this immediate action to overturn an irresponsible judgment, hundreds of cases would be in danger of collapse?
