Justice and Security Bill [Lords]

Debate between Elfyn Llwyd and Steve Baker

Tuesday 18th December 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Llwyd]

The hon. Gentleman has obviously thought about this, and he may well be right, but at the moment we are all looking into a rather dark room as we do not know what we are actually facing. What he says is quite logical, and I accept it, but I remain concerned.

[Steve Baker (Wycombe) (Con)]

I am tempted on the whole to agree with the thrust of the right hon. Gentleman’s argument, but I draw his attention to clause 7(3), which, if I understand it correctly, requires that the court would direct that the party would not be able to rely on such points unless they provided a summary. I am therefore not sure that his argument stands.

[Mr Llwyd]

I believe that it does.
