Report (2nd Day) (Continued)
Coroners and Justice Bill
8:33 pm
Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Crossbench)
I, too, support the amendment. As the House knows, I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Thomas, that the whole of Clause 49 is objectionable, but this particular paragraph is truly objectionable. It is little short of astonishing that Parliament should be asked to tell the jury whether sexual infidelity is enough for a man or woman to lose their self-control. I thoroughly support the amendment.
