Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 3 February 2010 in the House of Lords, by Lord West of Spithead (Labour).


Control Orders

Answer

My Lords, all the time we are looking at threats, possible threats and what might happen. It would be foolhardy of me to say on the Floor of the House what we would do. Clearly, we would ensure the safety of the nation. It might cost a huge amount more, and take a great deal more effort, and it might mean we could not be quite so sure of our safety, but that is what we would do.
