Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

My Lords, I shall certainly do so. What the Minister has explained to the House is of enormous significance. Given the time, I shall confine myself to just one remark. He gave an assurance that there is a distinction between using information to counter a threat and using it as evidence for prosecutions, with the former being permissible and the latter not. I wonder whether in practice it is entirely easy to disentangle the two. The Minister has given me material to think about, as he will to others who are much more expert than I am on the technicalities. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 34 withdrawn.
