Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 October 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill.


Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend for giving way. That is a misapplication of what I was trying to say. I said that you cannot achieve a rule of law without law, and that involves the right of the law of those who are concerned with it. It is necessary to have law by lawyers in the courts. It does not mean that the decision of the Secretary of State or someone else is therefore to be disregarded; they are both different factors of the same situation.
