Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) 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

To bolster his argument as he sums up to the jury, the judge tells them that they should come to a conclusion about which they are sure; the judge does not say that they should be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt any more. That reinforces the right hon. and learned Gentleman's argument.
