§ Mr. Robert Jackson (Wantage)I wish to present a petition on behalf of my constituent, Mr. Kevin Maxwell, who is being tried on a count of conspiracy to defraud contrary to common law.
My constituent desires in his petition that reference be made in the proceedings that he will face
to certain evidence and related material of the Select Committees on Social Security in the present and the previous Parliament which has not been reported to the House and which has not been published.Your Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons will give leave for said records, transcripts, documents, correspondence and notes … to be produced to the Hon Mr. Justice Phillips at the Central Criminal Court so that he may decide if the documents should under normal common law principles be disclosed to the parties in the trial; and if the Hon Mr. Justice Phillips so decides, the Court be permitted to make reference to them.It may be for the convenience of the House if I give notice that I intend to table a motion forthwith to give effect to this petition.
§ To lie upon the Table.
