Criminal Justice Bill
3:00 pm
Mr Simon Hughes (North Southwark and Bermondsey, Liberal Democrat)
I beg to move amendment No. 205, in
clause 37, page 24, line 29, leave out from 'he' to 'but' in line 30 and insert
'may, subject to subsection (6), make an order—
(a) specifying that the trial is to be conducted with a smaller jury consisting of eight jurors all of whom have indicated their willingness to serve on a potentially complex and long case,
(b) appointing up to two special advisers to assist the jury in understanding any arrangements, transactions or records of a financial or commercial nature or which relate to property and which relate to the trial, or
(c) specifying that the trial is to be conducted without a jury.'.
