Clause 26
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
5:15 pm
Maria Eagle (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Ministry of Justice; Liverpool, Garston, Labour)
I beg to move amendment No. 207, in clause 26, page 19, leave out lines 33 to 38 and insert—
‘“(1A) For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), the conviction is not unsafe if the Court think that there is no reasonable doubt about the appellant’s guilt.
(1B) Subsection (1A) does not require the Court to dismiss the appeal if they think that it would seriously undermine the proper administration of justice to allow the conviction to stand.” ’.
