Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.

Terrorism Bill

I thank the Minister for her description of the powers and how they are exercised. When I said that the whole of the metropolitan area of London had been subject to a rolling authorisation by the Home Secretary for the use of these extended powers, and that that had been the case for two years, I understood that that had been indicated to the High Court when a challenge was made in the arms fair case. If that is wrong, I would be grateful to receive information from the Minister on how it is so. It is the position of Liberty.
