Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (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

: On the court judgment that the control orders do not require derogation, I draw the Minister’s attention to the paragraph in the Joint Committee report that points out that the obligations by themselves may not amount to a deprivation of liberty but that they may be combined with other obligations. Lord Carlile drew attention to the fact that duration, which is not known at the outset, and all the specifics of a case may have a bearing on whether it amounts to a deprivation of liberty, which would require article 5 derogation.
