AYM Chair gives “masterclass” evidence in Bill Committee

by Leave a Comment

On 20th May, AYM Chair, Hazel Williamson gave evidence at the Public Bill Committee for the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. At the end of her evidence, the chair of the committee told Hazel

“Hazel, when people ask me, “How should I prepare to give evidence to a Committee?”—be it a Select Committee or a Bill Committee like this—I shall say, “Watch Hazel Williamson.” That was crisp, concise and informative. It really was a masterclass, and it is appreciated by us all at the start of a very long afternoon.”

A transcript of the full committee can be found here, with Hazel’s evidence on pages 8 – 11.
