Does the Home Secretary realise that that Answer is just as complicated as the reference to the Committee, and gives no information whatsoever? Is he aware that great injustice may be done to a person who is charged and found not guilty and then has to pay his own costs and thereby may suffer great financial and other loss? Will the right hon. Gentleman see that the Committee provides for this?
