Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) 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

Does my right hon. Friend agree that it was interesting that the shadow Home Secretary did not choose to mention the threat we currently face from republican terrorism coming from the north of Ireland? In view of the fact that we are approaching the internment day anniversary of 8 August, would it not be an extremely powerful statement to reduce the detention period from 28 to 14 days now, rather than to wait until later?
