Proceeding contribution from Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat) 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
Indeed I am. I have followed the matter, and the hon. Lady is absolutely correct: 28 days was not the aim, but it was better than 90. We have heard about those other countries, so are we saying that our police are worse than theirs? Do we think that our prosecutors are less good and our legal system less effective? I do not think so. We have excellent police and prosecutors, and an excellent legal system, so what makes us so different? What message about our attitude to civil liberties does the measure send not only to our citizens, but to those of other countries, who used to look on us as a beacon of civil liberties but have been sadly let down?
