Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Fundamental Rights Agency (EUC Report).


Fundamental Rights Agency (EUC Report)

My Lords, if the Prime Minister cannot have the third pillar, which is the one that deals with terrorism, crime, privacy and such matters and if the answer is that the Council of Europe or national governments can do that, that hole cannot be filled by the fundamental rights agency. Is that not an appalling gap in the system that the EU says that it needs to balance security, on the one hand and liberty, on the other?
