Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

It is worth mentioning that the reason Nelson Mandela is absolutely admirable is not because he is a past terrorist, but because he is a person who managed to forgive his enemies in a most dramatic and important way. I will also mention while I am on my feet that I am entirely on the side of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd of Berwick, because my uncle was a member of the Resistance in Norway, and I have no wish to be imprisoned for saying what a good job he did.
