Proceeding contribution from Lisa Cameron (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 July 2016. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Cross-examination of Vulnerable Witnesses.
Cross-examination of Vulnerable Witnesses
It is extremely important that children are able to give good and reliable evidence.
Does the hon. Member agree that, as research indicates that children are suggestible, leading questions should not be used in the court process?
