Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-terrorism Review.

Counter-terrorism Review

I certainly welcome the Home Secretary's statement about the increase in surveillance, but she will be as aware as the rest of the House that in the last few weeks we have seen a heightened threat level from Irish dissident activity on the mainland as well as a series of scares about a very serious armed incident inside this country. If surveillance of known terrorists increases, how will she balance that against the increased threat from unknown terrorists?
