Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (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 is quite right, given the way in which things have evolved, that we do not have, before putting this into statutory form, a common standard that is applied right the way across the board. If anything, the Law Lords’ decision in Davis has given us an opportunity to scrutinise how this process in fact works and to make sure that it is as tight, appropriate and acute as it should be and as we would wish it to be.
