Proceeding contribution from Viscount Bledisloe (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 strongly support either Amendment No. 6 or Amendment No. 7A. I shall not enter into any comparative beauty contest between the noble Lords who spoke to them, but what is undoubtedly needed is a requirement that the witness has not only a fear, but has a justified, well-founded and reasonable fear. Whichever words are used, one certainly needs one amendment or the other.
