Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 5 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill.
Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill
Why, then, my Lords, do the Government need a draft emergency Bill? It is because they consider that there may be circumstances in which the current Bill does not meet the security threat. My argument is that if the Government have to contemplate bringing in emergency legislation, it would be better to actually legislate for those provisions and allow Parliament its proper scrutiny rather than, at the time of an emergency or enhanced threat, seek to rush legislation through.
