Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) 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

That is an issue for a future debate on a later clause, and I would prefer not to spend the Committee's time on it now. The answer with regard to the independent counsel is that it is investigating according to the standard in the statute—whatever standard that is—and is therefore governed by what the statute says.
