Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (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

I am sorry to interrupt the noble Lord, but it is not the Government who have rushed suddenly to put a new provision into the Bill. We are talking about a position in which this currently has applied to magistrates’ courts. It is the noble Lord who is rushing to make a precipitate decision on which we have not had time for careful consideration.
