Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 November 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on National Security.
National Security
My hon. Friend is right. The message we should send out to the world is that our country wishes to protect the civil liberties of the individual. That is contained in the Human Rights Act, which was passed by the House of Commons and implements in British law the European convention on human rights. Whatever debates we have on the 28 days issue, I hope that there is a determination among all Members that, in the face of the threat of terrorism, we will not succumb but will defend the liberties of the individual.
