Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) 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

I will not give way any more; I am sorry to right hon. and hon. Gentlemen, but there is very little time. We should not go any further down this path, because that will open up a whole new debate. However, an awful lot of people have absconded given that, as the hon. Member for Reigate said, it cost £3 million to get the whole system working. I hope that next time Ministers come before the House to discuss counter-terrorism issues they will be able to provide a better explanation of what is happening so that the House can be better informed. With those caveats, I will, reluctantly, support the Government, but they need to do much more work next time if they hope to get this order through.
