Proceeding contribution from Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill.
Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill
I had not intended to intervene on this amendment, but surely there is a distinction between the principle involved here and the rules. The principle that a person is entitled to be confronted by his accusers is still preserved by the Bill. The rules we are talking about are an exception to that principle. Those are the rules which are to be abolished, and it seems a good thing that they should be.
