Proceeding contribution from Tony McNulty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Counter-Terrorism Bill (Programme) (No. 2).


Counter-Terrorism Bill (Programme) (No. 2)

Okay, pantomime over. That is not the case at all. The hon. Gentleman is looking for an issue that simply is not there. To be fair, the Scottish press sought the same issue. To be absolutely fair, as my noble Friend Baroness Scotland and the Lord Advocate have said, it is not an issue. They say that not because they get on so well, but because of the absolute responsibilities of their respective offices. The measure is utterly redundant, as will I be if other Members keep knocking Opposition amendments with such guile and eloquence. I need add no more on the subject of the amendment on aggravated sentences, because it has all been said by assorted Opposition Members.
