Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on National Security.


National Security

What is being offered as an alternative to the Prime Minister’s proposal on 28 days is not just one thing, as he said, but a combination of at least three things: post-charge questioning, wire-tap evidence, and changing the prosecutors’ code to allow earlier charging. Why does he reject that combination of three things in favour of his proposal, which to all intents and purposes is internment?
