Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-terrorism Review.


Counter-terrorism Review

The Home Secretary's statement will be welcomed by all those who value fundamental British rights and the defence of our national security. Can she confirm that emergency powers will not be used as a back-door ruse to reinstate some of Labour's human rights-busting counter-terrorism legislation? This Government believe in the judicial process and will seek to prosecute alleged terrorists, not to detain them indefinitely and arbitrarily.
