Proceeding contribution from Michael Meacher (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-Terrorism.


Counter-Terrorism

As my right hon. Friend is now proposing that the decision about detaining a terrorist suspect without charge beyond 28 days in certain cases might be put in the hands of a senior judge, will he consider the further proposal that the decision about whether a terrorist suspect is tried in a court, or made subject to the special advocate procedure—under which he is not even told the charge alleged against him—should also be put in the hands of a senior judge?
