Proceeding contribution from Lord Austin of Dudley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-terrorism Review.


Counter-terrorism Review

The truth is that the vast majority of British people will be very concerned that the control orders regime is being watered down as a result of party political considerations and not as a result of national security considerations. If any of the people involved are caught using the new freedoms that the Home Secretary is going to give them and using the mobile phones and computers that she is going to allow them to have to plot terrorist activities, to encourage other people to engage in terrorist activities, to radicalise people or to promote extremism, will she be prepared to resign?
