Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Counter-Terrorism Bill.


Counter-Terrorism Bill

Innocent. That demonstrates—[Interruption.] We can reiterate the argument that we had last time. The last time I used ““innocent””, Labour Members exploded in uproar at the idea that those people might be innocent, so I told Labour Members that I had asked the police at the time whether they were concerned sufficiently to put those three people under control orders. ““No,”” they said. I asked whether they were sufficiently concerned to put them under overt or covert surveillance? ““No,”” they said. I asked whether they were carrying on any further investigations into them? ““No,”” they said. I give way to the ex-Home Secretary.
