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


Terrorism Bill

On community involvement, does the Home Secretary accept that if the legislation is passed, it will harden support within communities surrounding terrorist cells, because it will turn people into martyrs? Undoubtedly, people will be detained on a week on week basis, released and found to be innocent. They will go back into those communities and say, ““Look, this is the sort of state we are talking about and working against.”” Surely it will be hugely counterproductive.
