Counter-Terrorism Bill (Programme) (No. 2)

I presume that some of my hon. Friend's new clause would be redundant if Government new clauses 18 and 19 were to be added to the Bill. I understand the point that he makes about post-charge questioning on only new evidence, but I do not understand the point about evidence that"““could not reasonable””—" I think that that is a typographical error and should read ““reasonably””—"““have come to light before.””" What would happen if another suspect in the same case decided to provide some evidence that he had—in his mind—reasonably withheld until that point? He might be held to have done so unreasonably, in which case I presume that questioning on it would not be allowed.
