Proceeding contribution from Paul Goggins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his intervention. We have had many such discussions in the past. It is of course not for us to define precisely what the penalty should be. A judge will decide the appropriate penalty after considering all circumstances. However, if a person is preparing for an act of terror that could wipe out people’s lives, life imprisonment is an appropriate penalty that should be available.
