Terrorism Bill

I wonder whether the hon. Gentleman is aware that Lord Carlile’s report states that"““there have been situations in which significant conspiracies to commit terrorist acts have gone unprosecuted as a result of the time limitation placed on the control authorities following arrest. This is not in the public interest, in which the prosecution of terrorist crime is of great importance.””" To return to the point that the hon. Gentleman made to the Home Secretary, Lord Carlile’s own view is that the three-month period is"““a reasonable maximum in all the circumstances””." Those are his words, not mine. He goes on to say that"““more than three months would certainly be unacceptably draconian””," but recommends that the proposal for that maximum should be regarded as"““a practical and sensible option, all other things being equal””." Why is Lord Carlile’s Liberal Democrat view wrong, and why is the hon. Gentleman’s view correct?
