Clause 81 - ''Bad character''
Criminal Justice Bill
9:30 am

Mr Paul Stinchcombe (Wellingborough, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman is asking some interesting questions, and I shall wait for the Minister's response to them.
Would not the proposal to delete subsection (1)(b) but to retain clause 82 effectively overturn the judgment in R. v. Z, so that if there were serial allegations of rape, separately made against the same person, there would be no possibility of admitting those in evidence?
