Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism.
Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism
I should like my hon. Friend to take note of the observation made by a former Home Secretary, Charles Clarke:"““The principal responsibility of the judiciary is to justice and to the liberty of the citizen properly carried through, but not to the security of the nation.””" Is my hon. Friend also aware of my Prevention of Terrorism Bill, which I introduced today? The object of the Bill is simply to disapply the Human Rights Act 1998 in respect of these matters in order to ensure that we maintain habeas corpus, due process and fair trial, even in the case of alleged suspects.
