• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I moved that amendment as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs. The Committee has no interest in this matter. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with regard to the Chairman of the Committee, the factual position is that he was involved in a case in which the accused person was the hon.

So, that if compliance with those provisions results in the suspect, or an accused person, being subjected to a situation where ... view
