Mr. Ashton

asked the Attorney-General whether he will introduce legislation to provide that children in indecent assault or other sex cases do not have to give evidence in open court when called on as witnesses and that their testimony is ascertained by the judge and counsel and reported in writing to the jury.

Mr. Mellor

I have been asked to reply.

I will write to the hon. Member.
