Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
No, I do not. The Bill provides that detention would be divided into steps of seven days, and extensions would have to be applied for from a ““judicial authority””. Some of my amendments say that that should be a High Court judge. I hope that there will be no controversy or opposition to that from the Home Secretary. After all, if we are to detain people for such a time, the judge involved must rank higher than a district judge.
