§
37 Clause 54, page 41, leave out lines 36 and 37 and insert—
("(b) whether by means of a live television link or otherwise, he is able to see and hear the court and to be seen and heard by it.").
§ Lord Williams of MostynMy Lords, I beg to move that the House to agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 37. I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 38 and 39. In the Commons my right honourable friend Mr. Kaufman asked whether or not live television links in Clause 54 also could cover Internet links. The purpose of these amendments is to ensure that future technological developments of live audio and visual links, when all of us are long since passed from this mortal frame, are within the scope of the clause.
§ Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 37.—(Lord Williams of Mostyn.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
