Counter-Terrorism Bill

I thank the Chairman of the Home Affairs Committee for giving way. He is perhaps having a tougher time than any of the Front Benchers at the moment. Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is somewhat bizarre that those on the Conservative Benches are now praying in aid the Civil Contingencies Act when four members of the Home Affairs Committee put their names to the following words:"““We considered…that Part 2 of the Civil Contingencies Act (CCA) 2004 could be used in exceptional circumstances…However, we concluded that this was not an intended use of the powers under the CCA, that there were significant legal problems and it would not be sensible for a national state of emergency to be triggered in the middle of a major investigation.””" Is it not crystal clear that when Conservative Members have had an opportunity to examine that proposal, they have found it wanting?
