Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (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
The first point is that there will be only a small number of extraordinary cases where it would be necessary to go beyond 28 days. The appropriate place to start is with what the process will be in each of those individual cases to provide the safeguards, which I completely recognise will be necessary, to hold somebody longer than the existing position. I am pretty thick-skinned, but I find it a bit tough that when I take a consultative approach I am told, ““Actually, you should have made up your mind before you started and that should be the basis on which you're consulting””.
