Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ramsay of Cartvale (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.

Terrorism Bill

I said that usually the value of intercept material is for intelligence purposes and operational purposes. In my experience and in most people’s experience it is very often not evidential. If the noble Lord feels that the evidence is so important, why does he think that the little value one would get from the evidence in some cases is completely outweighed by the vast amount of negative effects if one allowed this process to take place? I thought I had explained that in my speech, but obviously not clearly enough for the noble Lord.
