Clause 31 - Director of Public Prosecutions
Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill
11:00 am
Mr Tony McWalter (Hemel Hempstead, Labour/Co-operative)
Is my hon. Friend not persuaded of the Minister's emphatic endorsement of the philosophy underlying the amendment? If an appointment were unsatisfactory, the Minister's words as recorded in Hansard would clearly show Parliament's intention that the procedure be open and fair. I should have hoped that that would sufficiently convince my hon. Friend that the substance of his amendment has been accepted.
