Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (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

We will want to look very carefully at the amendments that have been moved here before we come to the Bill in the new Session to see whether the arguments that I am putting forward today as forcefully and courteously as I can have merit. No view was taken about the amendments before they were looked at carefully. Everything that has been said today will be relevant to the Bill that will come in in the next Session. If at the moment we thought that, for example, the noble Viscount’s amendments made the Bill better, we would agree to them.
