§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the courts which have live closed-circuit television links and associated equipment for the purpose of taking evidence from those deemed to be vulnerable witnesses; and if he will make a statement.
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 17 November 1992]: Facilities for closed circuit television links for child witnesses have been provided on a pilot basis at the High Court in Edinburgh and Glasgow and at Edinburgh and Glasgow sheriff courts. Extension to other court houses will be considered in the light of experience of use of the system in the pilot courts.
