Policing and Crime Bill

Evan Harris (Oxford West and Abingdon, Liberal Democrat)
I am grateful to the Minister for reading in that issue about the interests of justice. He makes a very important point, which I will mention en passant as he did, that although article 6 does not apply and therefore the Human Rights Act does not apply here, there are interests of justice that might apply and force the court to make a different decision. That might also apply to the other parts of this Bill that we have just discussed. I think the Minister has dealt with the point I raised and I am grateful to him.
