Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 (Continuance in force of sections 1 to 9) Order 2009.
Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 (Continuance in force of sections 1 to 9) Order 2009
My Lords, that is very good news. The Minister gave us some of the detail of his operational experience, for which I have tremendous respect, but we are talking here about a different choice in operational terms. He knows that other choices could be made. In his winding-up remarks, the Minister used a very surprising phrase, which I will check later in Hansard. He said that, ""we bend over backwards to give all those freedoms to our people"." As we on these Benches see it, we have the freedoms and sometimes the Government take them away, with the consent of Parliament, when really necessary.
