Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
There is a feeling in Government—it is the same in all Governments—that when something awful happens, they have to be seen to be doing something. The only thing Governments can do, apart from making statements and providing resources for the forces of law and order, is to pass new legislation. So that is what they do, and I suspect, to some extent, that is what we are doing here today. I hope that the Lords stick with it on the issue of glorification. I think that the hon. Member for Stone (Mr. Cash) wants to intervene, or maybe he is just waving at me. I am not sure—[Interruption.] Oh, he is just drowning! I give way to the hon. Member for Oxford, West and Abingdon (Dr. Harris).
