Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Cox (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
Perhaps I can propose a helpful solution. It may be that what is meant in subsection (6) is whether the measures are necessary. Perhaps the ““reasonable fear”” relates to subsection (5) and whether"““the witness would not testify if the order were not made.””" Perhaps that is what ““reasonable fear”” relates to, and not whether the measures are necessary"““to protect the safety of the witness””."
