Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) 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
Absolutely not. I was simply underlining why they cannot be treated exactly the same. The duty that a prosecutor has to, in effect, be the Minister of Justice in proceedings and to make sure that all relevant issues are brought before the court differs markedly from the position that one properly should hold as defence counsel properly defending a defendant. That duty is very different.
