My Lords, I am grateful to the noble and learned Lord the Attorney-General. Is what he is saying in accordance with how human nature works? Is not the power of the prosecutor, or indeed the police, to say, ““We are going to do this to you; of course you can go to court”” a very powerful arm-twisting power, and does it not have to be kept under very close control?
