Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on International Terrorism.


International Terrorism

Guidance is given. There is both a legal basis for the power, and guidance is given to police officers about how the powers are to be used. My hon. Friend's point identifies the need for the police to engage with communities, as happens effectively in many areas, to make sure that everybody can understand the nature of the powers, the nature of the threat, and what is, and is not, appropriate. That discussion should be had with the sort of young people with whom, I am pleased to hear, my hon. Friend and colleagues were engaging last week.
