Home Affairs and Justice

My right hon. Friend does not need to go to a bookshop for it, because she has learnt it off by heart, as I learn her speeches by heart. She will, of course, give a rendition of part of that speech when she winds up later. All the changes that my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister is leading and which he set out in his historic, first statement as Prime Minister to the House on 3 July, are designed to establish a better balance between order and liberty, responsibility and freedom—and, whenever possible, to do so by consensus. That informs my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary's approach to the complex and difficult issue of how best and fairly to bring international terrorists, who threaten the whole fabric of our society, to justice. She will speak at more length on that issue when she winds up the debate.
