Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 July 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism.
Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism
Obviously, one understands that there is an important and serious job of investigation to be done. However, this country has a uniquely long period of pre-trial detention—far longer than that of any comparable country. I know that the Home Secretary has undertaken a review of that, so would not it be sensible to give a signal that we intend to reduce the length of pre-charge detention, by decreasing it to 14 days today rather than reaffirming the 28-day order? We reaffirmed the prevention of terrorism Acts throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Every time we said that the matter would be re-examined. Maybe this time, we should do something.
