Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill

I will give way in a few moments. We do not believe that being optimistic, which is based on evidence, is incompatible with being cautious. That is why we are renewing the legislation. We think that we should hold out until the standards are reached—and the standard is based, and will be based, on security advice given to the Secretary of State by his security officials, including the Chief Constable.
