§ Mr. David NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has to implement the Pigot report on the giving of legal evidence by children in child abuse cases; whether he has received representations on this subject since 10 June; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. John PattenWe are still considering, with the benefit of the favourable comments received upon the Pigot report. what proposals we should make on video-recording children's evidence. We receive occasional letters in support of making it easier for children to give evidence.
