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


Terrorism Bill

My hon. Friend is making a very good case, and he is doing so very moderately. Does he agree that there are occasions on which Ministers write to all Members of Parliament to point out that a particular course is being taken, and to urge us to support it? Would it not have been the best possible course of action in this case to have written to all Members and made a coherent case that we could have contemplated in the privacy of our own offices, so that we could come to a sensible decision?
