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
If people compare that intervention with the approach that my right hon. Friend the Minister of State and I have taken, they will understand where the charge of being hollow and macho should lie. We have also made it clear that decisions about the detention of individuals will, as I have explained to the hon. Member for Stone (Mr. Cash), be made by a judge. They will involve a full adversarial hearing with the suspect represented, and each extension will be for a maximum of only seven days.
