Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Victims and Courts Bill

Contribution

My third question concerns an issue that was raised a year or two ago by the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron—namely, how do civil processes get dealt with through this? Will the Minister commit to following this up, not only through the Criminal Procedure Rules but also through the Civil Procedure Rules? I would like to give the Minister the benefit of the doubt on this issue and I re-express my gratitude to her for our meeting. It leaves in place the absurdity that computer evidence is held to be reliable even though we know that it often is not, but we must come back to that perhaps some other time.
