Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.

Terrorism Bill

That is a possibility, which is why extensions of the detention period will be subject to judicial review at each stage. Moreover, when the police decide whether to seek judicial agreement to extend the period of detention prior to charge, they will take into account precisely the considerations that the right hon. Gentleman outlined. He raises a legitimate point, but given the very small number of cases that are likely to arise, I do not think that the outcome that he suggests is either likely or realistic.
