Proceeding contribution from Viscount Bledisloe (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill.
Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill
My Lords, before the noble Lord sits down, could he enlighten me on one point? He referred to evidence being given by serving police officers. Does he contemplate that any serving police officer could come within Clause 4(5) as being somebody who would not testify without an order? Surely a serving police officer has to give evidence if he is required to do so?
