Proceeding contribution from Lord Dubs (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.

Coroners and Justice Bill

I also understand that the Attorney-General’s guidelines state that such an invitation to appoint a special counsel by a court to the Attorney-General should be regarded as exceptional. Whatever the figures, my noble friend may also care to comment on whether the guidelines say what I believe they say: that is, that they should be regarded as exceptional. It does not happen often. I am not totally convinced by my noble friend’s reply. I shall ponder what he said when I read Hansard in detail. For the moment, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 185 withdrawn. Amendment 185ZZA not moved. Clause 74 agreed.
