I would have given more credence to Derek Cole's arguments against anonymity for some witnesses - namely those in fear of their lives - had he put forward some suggestion as to how the prosecution should proceed when it is sure the available evidence strongly points to the guilt of the accused (Letters, June 16).
He omitted to say that the Government immediately heeded the judgment of the law lords.
Whether or not it would be wise to change the law is another matter.
Both Labour and Tory parties in Parliament appear to think that it would.
