Answered Asked by Margaret Mitchell Con Lodged 28 Apr 2014

The question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it considers that the review group led by Lord Bonomy has enough time to consider the abolition of corroboration as it is due to report in April 2015.

The answer

Answered by Kenny MacAskill on 8 May 2014 · 10 days after it was lodged, on time

I refer the member to the answer to question S4W-20897 on 8 May 2014. As Lord Bonomy’s review will not be asked to consider the abolition of the general requirement for corroboration in Scots criminal law, the issue does not arise.
