Parliamentary Search

Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.

Terrorism Bill

I will give way in my own time, when I have made my own argument, to the people to whom I think it is worth giving way. [Hon. Members: ““Ooh!””] There we are; that is what I will do—I think that that is called parliamentary democracy, Madam Deputy Speaker. I am making the point simply and straightforwardly that we should take the professional judgment of the police, who actually deal with situations such as the one at Russell Square tube station, and the advice of the prosecutors extremely seriously.
