Proceeding contribution from Lord Hope of Craighead (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2016. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Bill [HL].
Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Bill [HL]
It is standard practice not to mention this Scottish system of prosecution. It is necessary in England and Wales to distinguish between cases that require the authority of the Attorney-General and those that do not, but it is not necessary to say that for Scotland. That Scotland is not mentioned does not mean that proceedings cannot be brought there; it is simply that they are brought under this well-established procedure, which requires no further statutory authority.
