HL Deb 24 July 2001 vol 626 cc209-10WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will take steps to improve the audibility of proceedings before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. [HL241]

The Lord Privy Seal (Lord Williams of Mostyn)

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has a modern amplification system and complaints of inaudability have hitherto been fairly rare, but there have been one or two complaints recently. Investigations will be carried out to see what improvements can be made. If the noble Lord has any particular problems in mind perhaps he could let me have the details.
