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
My hon. Friend is entirely right, and it would be appropriate for the prosecution to be able to investigate that. A defence witness is completely different kettle of fish from a prosecution witness. As I have said, the JCHR has not discussed the matter in detail and come to a view on it, but I am giving mine, which pretty much relays what the DPP said to us today.
