Proceeding contribution from Lord Neill of Bladen (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

That is rather discouraging, as I said a moment ago that I would ask a question. The noble and learned Baroness is overcomplicating the position of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd of Berwick. It is absolutely clear what he wants. He has three additional amendments which would get rid of Clauses 44, 45 and 46. Their effect would be to leave the existing law of provocation standing and get rid of the new ideas embodied in Clauses 44 and 45. That is absolutely straightforward.
