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


Terrorism Bill

The hon. Lady referred to people not having rights in respect of getting information to and from their families. As I understand it, the Bill—[Interruption.] I should be grateful if the hon. Member for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine (Sir Robert Smith) would be a little patient. As I understand the Bill, it confers absolute rights, which have been reinforced and are stronger than the rights of suspects under existing legislation. Did she not make her constituents aware of that point?—[Interruption.]
