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

Counter-terrorism Review

Yes, there are significant differences between the past and present situations. The curfews under the control order regime allow 16 hours of detention in the home. The overnight residence requirement will replace the curfews and there will be a requirement for people to stay normally in their nominated home overnight. Most people would consider a normal overnight residence to be eight to 10 hours, but we are not suggesting that we should put a figure in the legislation. That would be a matter for the courts to decide. There is a significant difference between the proposal we are making and the regime that the previous Government introduced.
