Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counterterrorism Review.


Counterterrorism Review

My Lords, I am happy to give a general welcome to the Statement. In confirming that this is not a mere rebranding of control orders, will the noble Baroness point to requiring the permission of the High Court, which seems to take us into a completely different legal structure? I suspect that many of us will wish to explore the evidential test that she mentioned and whether we can move towards a criminal test beyond reasonable doubt. Will she and her officials continue to work actively on that? Secondly, does she agree that arrangements that enable a person subject to the measure to work or study are very significant indeed? That control was extremely offensive.
