Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
Human Rights
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. He is extremely knowledgeable. I have seen the report and I will look at it in more detail. However, the point is not whether the Home Secretary would finally have decided to send the hijackers back. If he had made a judgment that they would be tortured, imprisoned and killed, that would have been a different matter, but he had no right to send them back, and he had no chance of exercising his judgment. That is why the present law is flawed.
