Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorism: Aviation Security.


Terrorism: Aviation Security

My Lords, the Minister will recollect that the Statement said that the device seized at East Midlands airport ““could have detonated””. Am I placing too slavishly literal an interpretation on that to assume that that refers to a timing device of some nature or, indeed, that the device could have been detonated by remote control? If it could have been detonated by remote control, within what range could that have been achieved?
