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

My Lords, I cannot resist. The point that I am making is that, as a result of the clear divisions, we have come up with a flawed process of a Bill with emergency legislation as a potential back-up because I am sure that there is an understanding among some members of the Government, and certainly in the security and police forces, that the Bill as it stands may not be sufficient. It is extraordinary legislation that gives the Home Secretary power, during a certain period, to use the enhanced provisions. The problem is the product of those discussions.
