Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Wednesday, 3 February 2010.
Control Orders
- Question
- My Lords, is the Minister happy with the Government’s approach to legislation and to its implementation? The noble Lord, Lord Carlile, has not been uncritical of the implementation and detail of control orders. The approach seems to be to push at the boundaries and wait to see whether the courts knock them back.
- Answer
-
My Lords, I would not accept that that is the way we go about it. We look at this all the time: we have very good methods of scrutiny of control orders and we go through many checks to make sure that they are looked at properly. I do not accept that we do it by pushing to the boundary and then waiting for a court to push it back. That is not the way we go about it.
