Clause 6 - Evidence and procedure: courts-martial
Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill [Lords]
9:45 am
Mr Paul Goggins (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Wythenshawe and Sale East, Labour)
My hon. and learned Friend is right; it may not have been possible to prove the case in the first half, but it might subsequently be possible to prove it from evidence adduced in the second half. It is precisely because we want to pursue justice through the whole of the trial in these very specific circumstances that we are proposing the procedural measures.
