Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Counter-Terrorism Bill.


Counter-Terrorism Bill

My hon. Friend makes a very important point. The complexity of the investigations that he identifies is part of the argument that I shall make. In particular, senior police officers are clear that the combination of the changing nature of investigations to pre-empt and prevent potential terrorist actions and the scope and complexity of modern-day terrorist plots has the potential to impact on their ability to bring charges against terrorist suspects in the time currently available.
