Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism.
Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism
The most devastating intervention in the debate so far has been the right hon. Gentleman's, when he asked how many orders had been imposed in an emergency. The answer was none. Surely if the orders meant anything, more of them—or indeed some—would have been imposed. Is this not government by fig leaf? This is a totally artificial debate. The orders are not being used.
