Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 November 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on National Security.


National Security

My Lords, I congratulate the Government on the Statement, which seems to be the product of a great deal of creative and imaginative thought. However, I underline the fact that there seems to be an unanswerable case to what might be described as international collective security in this matter. Although a terrorist attack may ostensibly be aimed at a particular religious or cultural group, any such attack is essentially an attack on humanity as a whole and on the very concept of a sovereign state.
