Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill.
Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill
I fully accept that, and it is a very valid point, but the concern should be expressed by the witness. The police should not suggest it to the witness, as that might create fear that had not previously existed. That would actually feed the climate of fear to which my hon. Friend rightly refers. We should not make it worse than it is.
