Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Witness Anonymity.


Witness Anonymity

In his statement, the Secretary of State said that it was essential that the Bill receive Royal Assent and come into force before Parliament enters the summer recess. Can he explain to a layman the practical consequences if we do not get Royal Assent by the summer recess, and might he consider delaying the start of the recess if we need more time to consider the Bill?
