Proceeding contribution from Jim Cousins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 February 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism.


Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

My hon. Friend has just used the term ““reasonably suspected””. He will be aware that the test of reasonable suspicion has caused some concern. Does he propose to revisit the issue of the burden of proof and perhaps to lay down clearer safeguards?
