Proceeding contribution from Robert Neill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 June 2019. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rehabilitation of Offenders.


Rehabilitation of Offenders

The Minister is being most generous, but will he help me? He asserts, in terms, that if the inquiry is set up under the Act, it automatically triggers some of the exemptions to article 8. What is the remedy, however, if a person who is to be called as a witness by the inquiry is aggrieved and wishes to challenge the finding of the inquiry chair to admit the evidence of a spent conviction? Would there be a judicial review in the ordinary way?
