HC Deb 01 February 1989 vol 146 c219W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Attorney-General what involvement his Department has had in the Broxtowe child sex abuse case; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

The Crown Prosecution Service conducted the prosecution of members of the Taylor family.

In cases such as this it is necessary that the jury should hear the evidence of the young children involved, both in chief examination and in any cross-examination. I welcome the successful use of a video link facility to minimise the distress which testifying inevitably causes to the victims of these abhorrent crimes.
