Schedule 1
Counter-Terrorism Bill
4:00 pm
David Davies (Monmouth, Conservative)
I suspect that the Government are trying to use stories in the media, some of which I believe to be false and which were never backed up—such as planes being hijacked and flown into Canary Wharf—and some of which are real in terms of people who have been convicted of terrorism charges. Because of ongoing court cases I shall simply say that. I believe that those stories are being deliberately used in an inappropriate fashion to give the Government an excuse to introduce legislation that will not help to resolve the problem, but will strip us all of our human rights.
