Proceeding contribution from Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill.


Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill

The hon. Gentleman is right. I have always been uncomfortable when someone says, ““I know better, so just do exactly what I say.”” I am never comfortable with that as a form of argument, partly because it is very hard to rebut. In many ways, it is the central argument behind control orders—when the state tells someone, ““I know what you've done, but I'm not going to tell you what it is or how I know; we're just going to assume that you have done this.””
