Afghanistan (29 Oct 2008)

Hugh Bayley: ..., and we published our report in February. My impression from my recent visit is that the security situation has certainly deteriorated. The Taliban and other insurgents have turned more to terrorism and away from straight-on fighting with allied troops. They know that they cannot defeat ISAF or the Afghan national army, but then neither can ISAF defeat the insurgents militarily; the best...

[Mr. David Amess in the Chair] — World Trade (Doha Development Agenda) (12 Oct 2006)

Hugh Bayley: ...in the rich world that if we do not promote development and create opportunities for economic development in poor countries, we create, at least in some poor countries, failed states within which terrorism can thrive and terrorists can find sanctuary, rest and recuperation for their operatives, and money laundering facilities from a poor but compliant Government. It was because of that...

Points of Order: Corruption (23 May 2006)

Hugh Bayley: ...goes far further than the money lost. It creates a blight on investment and private sector development, and it holds back economic growth. Corruption funds and facilitates organised crime and terrorism.

European Affairs (14 Dec 2005)

Hugh Bayley: ...two thirds. Therefore, if we want to survive as a major player in world markets and retain a strategic role in global affairs—in respect of climate change, peace and security and combating terrorism, for instance—we need to set in train urgent and radical reform of our national economies. We need to invest more, especially in science and technology, to increase our productivity...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: United States of America (9 Nov 2004)

Mr Hugh Bayley: Britain's bilateral relations with the United States are important because hardly an issue of global policy—world trade talks, the global fight against AIDS or the fight against terrorism—can be resolved without America playing a leading role. Does my hon. Friend agree that we should encourage the United States to use to the full its soft powers of diplomacy and development aid to...

Occupied Palestinian Territories (29 Apr 2004)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...policy in Northern Ireland. If, during the troubles, we had decided to build a barrier between Northern Ireland and the Republic to stop the import into Northern Ireland of materials used by terrorists to make bombs and to pursue their campaign of terror, we certainly would not have built that fence on the territory of the Republic of Ireland. I can understand why the Israeli Government...

In relation to serious international financial crimes, especially those of bribery and corruption, which were legislated against in the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, how will the new agency co-operate with the Serious Fraud Office, and which agency will be in the lead in the investigation and prosecution of such crimes?

Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security (25 Feb 2004)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...of "Scouting for Boys"—he even forgot the first name of its author, so he clearly has not been reading it closely. It is right and proper that the House has concentrated on the fight against terrorism and the security risks that face our country because that is what the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 exists principally to address. However, I wish to speak briefly about...

Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security (25 Feb 2004)

Mr Hugh Bayley: My right hon. Friend is very kind. My concern is with part 12 of the Act, which does not directly deal with terrorism but contains anti-bribery provisions.

HIV/AIDS (11 Dec 2003)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...on proposing and securing the debate. HIV/AIDS is clearly the greatest humanitarian challenge facing the world today. It is killing more people than wars or famine, and many, many more people than terrorism. In the west, because of medication, it is mainly now a chronic illness. In developing countries, HIV is a death sentence. In developing countries, its victims are so weakened by the...

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...international bribery and corruption (a) are being and (b) have been carried out by the UK law enforcement agencies since the enactment of legislation against such offences in Part 12 of the Anti-Terrorism Act 2001; and if he will make a statement about prosecution for such offences.

Iraq (4 Jun 2003)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...by the Iraqi Government to assist poor people. A poverty reduction strategy would need to be agreed by a new Iraqi Government. We took action in Iraq as part of our post- 11 September response to terrorism. At the start of my speech, I said that the test of whether we are on the side of the Iraqi people will be our humanitarian response to their needs now. If we rise to that challenge we...

Iraq (26 Feb 2003)

Mr Hugh Bayley: The right hon. Gentleman talks about the risks of terrorism. What would be his strategy for dealing with the risk that the Iraqi regime could pass dangerous chemical or biological agents not, perhaps, to al-Qaeda, but to secular Islamic extremists?

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...pipe cannot be built? It does not, because the people in those camps are the victims of the Sudanese regime. We should help them. If we do not, we shall be creating another seed bed for the sort of terrorism and extremism that this House rightly opposes. My second example is a little different, although it also comes from Sudan. A food-for-work project was being run by CARE International...

International Development Bill [Lords]: New Clause 1 — Restriction on assistance to governments involved in gross violations of human rights (23 Jan 2002)

Mr Hugh Bayley: ...were able to recruit; we created conditions that helped that to occur. By providing long-term development assistance, therefore, we create conditions that make it less, not more, likely that terrorism will develop and that human rights will be abused. The states and regimes that consistently and horrifyingly abuse human rights tend not to be run by humanitarian democrats—by the sort...

International Terrorism (4 Oct 2001)

Mr Hugh Bayley: .... Is that planning taking place and, most importantly, is it taking place in consultation with the Department for International Development?
