Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism.


Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

Does the Minister share my concern about Lord Carlile’s observation on prosecutions? He said: "““I have seen letters from chief officers of police in relation to each controlee certifying that there was no realistic prospect of prosecution. Little is given by way of reasons.””" Does the Minister accept that that is unsatisfactory? What steps will the Home Office take to rectify the situation?
