Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) 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
In her letter to the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Scotland, suggests that it is still open to the defence counsel to see a witness if they want to. Does the court have power to prevent the defence counsel or the prosecution counsel from seeing a witness in any circumstances? I would like an answer to that question, as that is what I am interested in.
