Police and Justice Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Police and Justice Bill.
Is not the real difference between evidence on the one side and information on the other? Does not that mean that, in the United States, it is possible for someone to challenge the evidence on the substance of the case against them, in terms of whether it is believable and whether it could be negated—or, to use the American term, obliterated—by other evidence? In this country, however, that is not possible. That is an important difference, and the Minister should recognise that that is the difference that she is talking about.
