Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I welcome that. The most important consideration is that the House has an opportunity to debate every year, if necessary, the powers of detention. However much we disagree about 90 or 28 days, will my right hon. Friend take this opportunity to reject with contempt allegations made—outside, of course—that those of us who have a different view, and 28 days was the majority decision, have any less understanding of the acute terrorist danger that our country faces from mass murderers? We are surely at one on this. I hope that he shares my contempt at the some of the stories that have appeared today.
