Justice and Security Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Wallace of Tankerness (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 July 2012. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Justice and Security Bill [HL].

I hope I indicated that we do not want to create something that is entirely different—some sort of national security court. Consistent with the other aspects of civil procedure, this is an additional tool to have closed material proceedings for material that would be damaging to national security if disclosed but should nevertheless be available to the courts.
