Counter- terrorism Bill Committee Stage Report

This is a report on the Committee Stage of the Counter-Terrorism Bill, Bill 63 of 2007-08. The Bill as amended in Committee and published for the Report Stage is Bill 100 of 2007-08. This report has been produced in response to a recommendation of the Modernisation Committee in its report on The Legislative Process (HC 1097, 2005-06).

The Counter-Terrorism Bill covers a wide range of topics; however, the most contentious have proved to be proposals in relation to pre-charge detention, post charge questioning and inquests and inquiries.

The Bill Committee took evidence from a number of witnesses prior to debate, primarily on these issues. It held 14 sittings between 22 April and 15 May 2008. Remaining Stages are to be on 10-11 June 2008.
