Proceeding contribution from Robert Walter (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorism Act 2000 (Section 44).
Terrorism Act 2000 (Section 44)
May I welcome the Home Secretary's statement and express some surprise at the shadow Home Secretary's attempt to defend the practice that has been ruled illegal? I remind the House that, in 1949, the United Kingdom was the architect of the Council of Europe and the European convention on human rights. Members who represent us at the Council of Europe have been embarrassed over the past few years by some of the previous Government's actions on human rights. Therefore, in any review of anti-terrorism legislation, will we be cognisant of our obligations under the European convention?
