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


Terrorism Bill

: My right hon. Friend has been very generous in giving way, and I have a simple question about the Crown Prosecution Service. Specialist prosecutors are used for a range of offences, including domestic violence and street robbery, but are they used in terrorism cases? If not, should not consideration be given to developing their use in that respect? In that way, the option of charging people with lesser offences for which they can be remanded could be investigated proactively before any extension of detention were considered.
