Clause 29 - Notification of intention to
Criminal Justice Bill
4:45 pm
Mr Hilary Benn (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Leeds Central, Labour)
The honest answer to the hon. Gentleman's fair question is that we are still considering the matter. However, I undertake to return to it on Report, and I am mindful, in reinforcing the comments of the Home Secretary on Second Reading, that the Home Affairs Committee
has raised a fair and important point about appropriate safeguards, so that justice is seen to be done in the operation of the new requirements. I hope that it is helpful to know that we shall return to the matter.
