Proceeding contribution from Lord Harris of Haringey (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 am grateful to the noble and learned Lord for giving way. As someone who has tried to understand the civil liberties arguments about this, perhaps I will be forgiven for asking him to explain to the House why the level of intrusive covert surveillance that would be necessary to provide the reassurance we all seek is somehow a less severe intrusion into someone’s civil liberties than control orders, TPIMs or whatever it might be, where the ground rules are set, explicit and subject to judicial review?
