Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Counter-Terrorism Bill.


Counter-Terrorism Bill

Although I have great respect for what the hon. Gentleman says and thinks, let us make it quite clear that the Civil Contingencies Act—[Interruption.] No, I am afraid that it is not right. The Civil Contingencies Act would not contain any of the individual safeguards with regard to the review of extended detention by a judge that our proposals include, so it would be more draconian than our proposals.
