Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 November 2007. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Home Affairs and Justice Debate on the Address.
Home Affairs and Justice
Is not one of the arguments against extending the period beyond 28 days simply that it would be counter-productive? It will cause antagonism within the Muslim community—the very people whose help the police need to combat terrorism. So far, no compelling evidence has been produced by the Government or the police to justify going beyond 28 days, which is already the longest period of detention without charge in Europe.
