Clause 62 - Cases that may be retried
Criminal Justice Bill
4:00 pm
Ms Vera Baird (Redcar, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman has said that it will be fine if the review has been promised on the conditional basis that the Bill will pass, which the chief constable must obviously have done, and if the chief constable finds the case a viable one. However, the hon. Gentleman is pursuing an amendment that would prevent that from happening, because the case to which I referred, like all cases in question at present, is retrospective. What would he say to my constituent about that?
