European Union Bill

My hon. Friend has touched on a matter of great importance. I welcome the safeguards. It seems to me that justice in other countries is very different from justice in ours, principally on the basis of mutual recognition that many things are the same. It concerns me that we must keep as divorced as possible from the system in France, for example. Even a former French Justice Minister said, ““The assumption here is that one is innocent until one is proven guilty, but in reality, with our magistrates courts, it is the other way around.”” That will be difficult to reconcile and we must have very strong safeguards.
