Clause 62 - Cases that may be retried
Criminal Justice Bill
10:45 am
Mr Hilary Benn (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Leeds Central, Labour)
I am grateful to the hon. Lady and I gladly undertake to draw her comments to the attention of my colleagues. She returns to the fundamental point: the fairness of the trial. The Government feel that there are sufficient provisions in the clause to deal with that. We will debate the issue in later clauses, as well as the protection that exists in all trials that the judge has final responsibility for deciding whether the process is fair.
