Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (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)

I am happy to give that commitment to my hon. Friend, and I thank him for his excellent service on the Council of Europe, which he has undertaken over a number of years. Just as the point was made by my hon. Friend the Member for Oxford West and Abingdon (Nicola Blackwood), we are cognisant in our work to review counter-terrorism legislation of the need to redress the balance between ensuring that our police have the powers necessary to protect the public and protecting our ancient civil liberties.
