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


Terrorism Bill

: Is it not always true that there are two arguments for destroying human rights: one is, ““We have never had a situation like that before.””; the other is, ““We have no intention of making it worse later on””? Both those arguments are very dangerous, and this House should not accept them.
