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


Terrorism Bill

As the right hon. Gentleman says, when the police were last asked, they said that they wanted the period raised from seven to 14 days. Has he noticed that the reasons given at the time—to be found in the Official Report for 20 May 2003 at columns 942–3—are similar to the reasons advanced for the increase from 14 to 90 days? For example, there is a whole paragraph on the difficulties of extracting material from computers.
