HC Deb 27 February 1996 vol 272 c496W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if children can give evidence through video links to the court in all cases that involve child sex abuse in England and Wales; and if he will make a statement. [16324]

Mr. Maclean

All children in cases of this kind may, with the leave of the court, give evidence by means of a live television link to the court or by means of a video recording of their evidence-in-chief. If a case of this kind arises at a court which does not have the necessary facilities, it can be transferred to one which does.
