Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harris of Richmond (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 9 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Counter-Terrorism Bill.

Counter-Terrorism Bill

moved Amendment No. 25: 25: Clause 19, page 15, line 30, at end insert— ““( ) Nothing in this section shall require a person to disclose information to any of the intelligence services for any purpose.”” The noble Baroness said: This is simply a probing amendment to allow the Minister to reassure us that disclosure is entirely permissive and that there is no possibility that the clause may be used in a more aggressive manner to seek information which results in the person from whom the information is being sought feeling that it is not being extracted in a permissive manner. I beg to move.
