The Member is right. Part of the issue around the draconian legislation leads me to clause 9, where the Bill says that, in pursuit of those offences — I want to develop the point about the way in which this will be prosecuted — there is:
"No right to claim trial by jury".
That is fairly draconian legislation.
58 words. Text as published by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
