Written statement made by Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) on Thursday, 6 December 2007 in the House of Commons, on behalf of the Home Office.

Counter-terrorism

We are today publishing further documents in relation to the forthcoming counter-terrorism bill. We are publishing a letter I have sent today to the Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee setting out how the Government intend to legislate on pre-charge detention of terrorist suspects; a report by Lord Carlile of Berriew QC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, on the proposals for the counter-terrorism bill and a paper summarising the results of the public consultation on the proposals for the counter-terrorism Bill. Copies of all three documents are available in the Libraries of both Houses.
