Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Draft Legislative Programme.


Draft Legislative Programme

The Prime Minister will be aware that many Members on both sides of the House are alarmed at the prospect of an increase in the time limit for pre-charge detention. We believe that far from making us safer, detaining people for months at a time without trial could exacerbate community tensions. He said that any change would apply to terrorism alone. Will the Bill state that the increase in pre-trial detention applies only to people prosecuted under terrorism legislation?
