Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) 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, the cases to which we are referring are described as test purchase cases where the police officers involved need to act under cover. In many circumstances, it is very important that that their anonymity is preserved. However, the general provisions in the Bill, the conditions that will operate and the judgment that the judge will have to make provide the guarantees that the noble Viscount seeks.
