Northern Ireland (Offences) Bill
9:00 pm
Mark Todd (South Derbyshire, Labour)
Can my hon. Friend think of any circumstance in which the individual’s non-attendance could be justified? I have attempted throughout consideration of the Bill to think of various hypothetical circumstances—we had a good exercise of that kind earlier—but I cannot for the life of me think why an individual in the relevant circumstances should not attend. Can my hon. Friend throw any light on that?
