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


Terrorism Bill

As one who did not make a powerful speech, or, indeed, have the opportunity to make a speech at all, I stress that many colleagues are simply not prepared to support the Bill at this stage because it contains too broad a range of powers, which are too vaguely defined and threaten too much damage in return for too little benefit. It is quite simple.
