Proceeding contribution from Michael Mates (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Counter-Terrorism Bill.
Counter-Terrorism Bill
That is the safeguard to which I was referring, but it is the Executive who will take the original decision. It is the authorities who will say, ““This is what we are going to do. Now we will go and check it with a judge.”” Provided it is within the law, the judge will have to obey what Parliament has decided to do. If we take the Executive out of that equation, we will re-establish the trust that that process will happen independently and fairly.
