Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) 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 cannot resist a brief trip down memory lane. Although it is true that Trotskyists and other far left groups and, indeed, pro-Soviet groups used to rename themselves, it was nevertheless also true that when the hon. Gentleman’s party fatally abolished the proscribed list, that had a huge effect on reviving the overt way in which those groups were able to function. That is why, despite the danger of reinvention, proscription is worth while.
