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
Does the Minister accept that the screening of a witness from the defence counsel might be fair in one case but not in another? The issue of a fair trial does not depend on whether defence or prosecuting counsel is screened from the witness at all. All the circumstances will have to be looked at. You could have apparently similar circumstances where one set leads to unfairness and another set to fairness.
