Proceeding contribution from Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-Terrorism.
Counter-Terrorism
One of the difficulties of comparing the length of time for which people can be detained without charge is the fact that we all have very different legal systems. The French have an inquisitorial system that allows them to detain for a considerable period—certainly for a lot longer than 28 days, and in some cases for years. It has been suggested to me that we should look further into having an inquisitorial-type system for terrorist suspects. That would be a pretty fundamental thing to do, but we are prepared to look into any suggestions that come forward. At the moment, however, we have no plans to do anything of that nature.
