Proceeding contribution from Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on National Security.
National Security
My Lords, I once had the pleasure of debating these issues with the noble and learned Lord, Lord Fraser, at Durham University, and he was equally wrong then. Given the evidence of the police having to go to the wire in many detention cases, does the Minister agree with me that, if they had to release important suspects simply because of lack of time, the public would be outraged if they were endangered as a consequence? Equally, does she agree that the greatest threat to civil liberties is that of being blown to smithereens?
