Proceeding contribution from Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour) 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

No. The hon. Gentleman makes a fair point. As I said, every time the matter has been discussed, the Minister of the day has said that it is a difficult matter, and that we much prefer to get to the point of prosecution so that the criminal justice system deals with it. However, as Lord Carlile, who was the independent regulator, found, there are circumstances for which the criminal justice system cannot cater in that way.
