Proceeding contribution from Lady Hermon (Ulster Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill.
Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill
The Secretary of State must clarify the issue, which is crucial and impinges on other provisions in the Bill. I am sorry if Democratic Unionist party Members are exasperated, but the matter requires clarification. Under the Bill, breaches of control orders, which have been available in Northern Ireland since spring this year, will be regarded as scheduled offences and will be tried by Diplock courts. Control orders have recently been introduced throughout the United Kingdom to deal with international terrorists and, presumably, domestic terrorism, too. If Diplock courts are not available, is the Secretary of State saying that we must re-examine how we deal with breaches of control orders?
