	answer	answer answer text <p /> <p /> <p>There is no place in the justice system for corrupt expert witnesses. Those who are found guilty can face prosecution for perjury, or for perverting the course of justice which carries the maximum penalty of a life sentence.</p><p>Following the Government's response to the Law Commission's report into Expert Evidence, the Criminal Procedure Rule Committee was asked to make changes to the Rules which will clarify the duties of expert witnesses and remind the parties, and the courts, of the vital importance of distinguishing between those conclusions that expert evidence can support, and those which it cannot. The Committee has agreed to do so and I expect these new Rules to come into force in October.</p> question first answered 30/06/2014 11:34:37 answering member 4183

	answer	answer answer text <p>A range of measures are in place to detect and deter cross border smuggling of diesel between the Republic and Ireland and Northern Ireland. These include investigative work on either side of the border, for example checking of documentation, and acting on intelligence received. This is augmented by close cooperation and information sharing by the HMRC, the Irish Revenue Commissioners and other relevant agencies.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Additionally, HMRC fights fraud on a wide range of fronts, from special units performing thousands of roadside checks to raiding laundering plants. The UK has recently announced, jointly with Ireland, an improved new marker for rebated fuel, which will make it much harder to launder marked fuel and sell it at a profit.</p> question first answered 30/06/2014 15:24:03 answering member 4262
