Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism.

Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

I share the hon. Gentleman’s views about HUT, particularly about its statements, which it made openly, that Muslims should be tried according to sharia in this country. We have the rule of law in the United Kingdom, which everyone must obey. The attitude of HUT may not be a reason for proscribing it, but it is certainly a reason for strong argument with the group. If it does not obey the rule of law in the UK, it is outwith a democratic society. Does the hon. Gentleman agree?
