HC Deb 22 February 2000 vol 344 c1361
23. Mr. Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow)

What representations she has received on the application of the European convention on human rights to the conditions in which trials in third countries take place. [109633]

The Advocate-General for Scotland (Dr. Lynda Clark)

I have received no such representations.

Mr. Dalyell

Assuming that the trial at Zeist ever gets under way, do Ministers think that it should be televised?

The Advocate-General

That is a matter entirely for the Scottish Executive, and in particular, the Lord Advocate in his role as independent prosecutor and the decisions that he makes in relation to that. The matter is also before the courts and is sub judice.
