Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism.


Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

I am very happy to check. Given the use of the third person in the passage that the hon. Gentleman cited, I detected that it was not a letter signed by my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr. Cameron). How that letter came to be written, if it came to be written, I simply have no idea. I say that honestly; I do not know. I suggest that the hon. Gentleman should raise the issue directly with my right hon. Friend and his office, and he might then have an answer. My right hon. Friend has repeatedly expressed concern rather legitimately about why, in view of the previous Prime Minister’s attitude to Hizb ut-Tahrir—he believed that it was fomenting violence—and the fact that it was seen as more than just an unpleasant organisation, the Government have not taken action in respect of it. The Minister may be able to answer our questions.
