Oppose the proposals for secret court hearings in Justice and Security Green Paper of 19th October 2011

Additional Information

Secret justice could become a regular feature of British courts and tribunals when the intelligence services want to protect their sources of information.

Civil courts, immigration panels and even coroner's inquests would go into secret session if the Government rules that hearing evidence in public could be a threat to national security.

The proposals, which run counter to a centuries-old British tradition of open justice, were introduced to a sparsely attended House of Commons yesterday by the Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke

We must show out total opposition to these proposals
