Proceeding contribution from Baroness Butler-Sloss (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 support the Bill, but it is inappropriate that it should extend to the magistrates’ court. That is my only criticism of it. Whether or not that provision is to be exceptional, as has been suggested, or it should apply only in certain circumstances, I have real concerns about it. I therefore respectfully support both noble Lords who have just spoken.
