Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

I listened to the hon. Gentleman’s concerns, many of which are valid, and to the concerns of the respected hon. Member for Newark (Patrick Mercer), who in a sense has put the Government on one year’s notice. If the hon. Member for Sheffield, Hallam (Mr. Clegg) intends to lead his party in opposing the renewal order today, will he tell the House what he thinks the effect of failing to renew the provisions will be on people who are subject to control orders, and what will that do for public confidence in our security services?
