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
Ultimately, condition C is the test to determine the seriousness of a threat. It asks whether"““it is necessary to make the order””" to ensure that ““the witness should testify””. The importance of the evidence is then material, and the next question—whether the witness will turn up—is addressed by my amendment No. 7.
