Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) 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 shall finish my point, then of course I shall give way. I would like to confine anonymity protection to a narrow class; I certainly accept that undercover officers come into that class. Perhaps another class of individuals should be included, but the burden rests on the Solicitor-General to make the case.
