Proceeding contribution from Ann Widdecombe (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

I am grateful to the hon. Lady for giving way, but the point has almost passed. She was referring to the unlikelihood of a prosecution. We are seeking to avoid the likelihood of even the earliest stages of an investigation for a mere expression of opinion—in other words, the police on the doorstep.
