    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I appreciate the concern of the hon. Member but I want to oppose this amendment for the simple reason that it cuts both ways. Consider if a murder is committed today, a suspect is taken before the court and the prosecutor realizes they have no evidence but 20 years later concrete evidence is found, and we have seen this in many jurisdictions, it means, forever, you cannot go after that person. We ought to have protection for the suspect in a speedy trial Act. But if you close prosecutions for people discharged under Section 87(a) you might then close very serious offences against the public. It cuts both ways and I would plead that the amendment be rejected."
