Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on Defendant Anonymity.


Defendant Anonymity

I am glad that the Government are listening and proceeding slowly, but there are other wide-ranging issues that I hope are also under consideration. Can the Minister tell us whether anonymity is being considered in the context of all sexual offences, as one category— [Interruption.] I am asking the Minister. Is it also being considered in the context of all offences of violence, which is the other big category? Having single solutions for single types of offence, however important the offence is, would be the wrong way to go. Looking at this in the broader context is the right way to proceed.
