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, it was open to the Scottish authorities to go through the Sewel process. They have chosen not to do so. I understand that the Scottish Administration is considering this matter, but I believe that the Scottish Parliament is in recess. Therefore, it is difficult for me to comment further on that matter. However, if I obtain further information on the Scottish position between now and Tuesday, I shall be happy to give it to the noble and learned Lord. Moved, That the Bill be now read a second time.—(Lord Hunt of Kings Heath.)
