Proceeding contribution from Robert Halfon (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)
Last December, I was subject to section 44—[Interruption.] Fortunately, I was sent away and everything was fine, but nevertheless I felt that my liberties as a citizen had been infringed on, and a sense of grievance, albeit a small one, against the authorities. [Interruption.] My great problem with what the previous Government did is this: if we believe in liberal democracy, we must also hold out strongly for its values. We weaken those values at great cost. Does the Secretary of State agree?
