Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Coroners and Justice Bill
That is not what I was saying. I was saying that when there is a cocktail of events—in the case I cited, they included the sexual infidelity that formed the background, together with abuse and taunting of the defendant—the combination is capable of amounting to an appropriate trigger. Incidentally, that is also the view of the Law Commission, and when it took that question out to sample—I think the Minister will find it on page 66 of the report, but I could be wrong—that was also the view of the focus groups to which the question was addressed.
