Crime and Courts Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Crime and Courts Bill [HL].

I am grateful to the noble Lord. Is not the point that however reprehensible the allegations against the individual, if they are present in this country then they are entitled to remain and pursue an appeal? The question is whether, because of the accident that they may be abroad for a day or two for entirely understandable compassionate reasons and because the Secretary of State takes advantage of that absence to make a decision, they should then be unable to pursue an appeal while within the United Kingdom.
