Victims and Prisoners Bill

Proceeding contribution from Sarah Champion (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 May 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Victims and Prisoners Bill.

I am sure my hon. Friend welcomes the section 28 measures that came in recently, which allow pre-recorded information to be submitted and take a lot of trauma out of the sometimes hostile environment in which victims find themselves. However, from my experience, their use depends on the judge’s understanding and granting of them. Will the Bill contain anything to prevent that postcode lottery?
