Business of the House (9 Jul 2009) has video

Stuart Bell: The House will be grateful for the statement made by the Minister for Policing, Crime and Counter-Terrorism on the serious allegations made against News Group Newspapers today. I remind the Leader of the House that the allegations are serious.

Identity Cards Bill (29 Mar 2006)

Stuart Bell: ...Hughes). He reminded me, if I might go into Shakespeare, of the blasted heath of "King Lear": "I will do such things,— What they are, yet I know not; but they shall be The terrors of the earth." I am sure that the country will take that into account. He urged the country to take note of him through our television screens, although, of course, that is against the...

Security Screen (22 Apr 2004)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...what we used to call, and should still call, the mother of Parliaments. This is the essence of our democracy, known and recognisable in every country of the world. The objective of global-reach terrorism is to attack and destroy democracy. To have an untoward and unhappy event here, successful or otherwise, would not only taint our democracy, but the principle of democracy throughout the world.

Security Screen (22 Apr 2004)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...are able to protect our people, our Members of Parliament and our Government from the kind of attacks that we are seeing worldwide. I could bring a map before you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, which shows terrorism with its global reach in all the countries of the world—even in Saudi Arabia, which is not a democracy as we understand it. These terrorists are no respecters of persons. To attack...

Security Screen (22 Apr 2004)

Mr Stuart Bell: I agree with my hon. and learned Friend that the attacks of global-reach terrorism on democracy are attacks on us all and that we all may be subject to terrorist attack by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We have talked about the parliamentary estate and commission of inquiry that we shall hold, with a full investigation of how we can protect people who wish to visit. However, we...

Security Screen (22 Apr 2004)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...but our democracy, our Government, our Opposition and our image as the mother of Parliaments to which other Parliaments look up and other democracies aspire. We are looking to prevent a victory for terrorism that would be perceived as such worldwide. My hon. and learned Friend the Member for Medway (Mr. Marshall-Andrews) says that the screen is an obstruction to or erosion of the...

Security Screen (22 Apr 2004)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...Parliament, our democracy and the concept of democracy. Hon. Members should understand that. The House should support the motion, reject the amendments and thus make a clear statement that we take terrorism seriously in relation to our Parliament and Members of Parliament, of whatever party, and that we will not provide a hostage to fortune that could be shown throughout the world as an...

EU Constitution Referendum (30 Mar 2004)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...in a moment, and it is part of my theme—I am always grateful for sedentary interventions by the right hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Mr. Forth). We will discuss the global war on terrorism, but EU citizens have those two major benefits, which bring the citizens of Europe closer to the concept of the European Union. The concept of the ever-closer union was adopted by Sir...

Iraq and the Middle East (14 Apr 2003)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...setting up a homeland security department that brings together our intelligence and security agencies and other Departments, so that the people of our country can know that the battle against terrorism will continue in a high-profile way, in their interests and in their defence?

Bali (15 Oct 2002)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...the United Nations Security Council has passed a further resolution condemning the bombings and also that there is co-operation within the framework of the United Nations to attack global outreach terrorism. However, will he confirm that in the association with Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom in Bali, there can be co-operation outside the United Nations as well as...

Armed Forces (Deployment) (26 Oct 2001)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...in Middlesbrough, of the people of Teesside and of the people in our country, and that the Government's approach and determination to eradicate and eliminate global-reach, state-sponsored terrorism is right and proper? Is it not right to communicate that majority view, that massive view, in our country to those in our armed forces who are serving now and who may serve in future? Although...

Orders of the Day — REINSURANCE (ACTS OF TERRORISM) BILL [Money] (13 May 1993)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...of capacity in the worldwide reinsurance market and because of the fact that certain European reinsurance companies withdrew their support from our insurance market. It is therefore less to do with terrorism than with insurance. Under clause 1, the power of the state comes in behind the insurance market and stands four square behind the market of the City of London. We welcome that....

Orders of the Day — REINSURANCE (ACTS OF TERRORISM) BILL [Money] (13 May 1993)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...in lawyers' terms, I shall not repeat my earlier remarks. I shall say only that the final message from the Opposition, which is similar to that from the Government, is that there is no future in terrorism, destruction and death. No political solutions are on offer. The message to the IRA, or any other terrorist organisation, is that it is not worth it—it is not worth a bean. I hope...

Orders of the Day — Reinsurance (Acts of Terrorism) Bill (13 May 1993)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...to say that it was covered by privilege, being given on the Floor of the House, so I am not liable if it turns out to be wrong. I shall, however, leave it to the Minister to give his definition of terrorism as he sees it, and to define the participation of Lloyd's. It would be interesting to know how it can participate, given its syndicate system. We enjoyed the eloquent speech of the...

Orders of the Day — Reinsurance (Acts of Terrorism) Bill (13 May 1993)

Mr Stuart Bell: I shall pick up where the Minister left off. We fully agree that terrorism cannot impose its will on the British people by acts of violence against property or person. The great tragedy of recent disasters has been the loss of life, for which we grieve and which creates widows or orphans, not a political solution. Unfortunately, that message has not penetrated elsewhere; but one message that...

Orders of the Day — Reinsurance (Acts of Terrorism) Bill (13 May 1993)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...the point raised in the other place on 15 February this year, through a written question at column 62. The question was whether that cover would include premises closed as a result of the threat of terrorism.

Counter-terrorism (8 May 1992)

Mr Stuart Bell: The Secretary of State will accept that terrorism and the killing of innocent people do not resolve political situations; they simply leave orphans and widows. Does he accept that, although his statement deals with terrorism in this country, there should be absolute interfacing with the security services in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland? Will he note that the Republic of...

Prayers: Peace Train (Northern Ireland) (19 Jul 1991)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...is an example of people power, of people of good will sending a message to terrorists—whoever they happen to be, and on whatever side of the divide they stand—that enough is enough. Terrorism creates orphans and widows; it does not resolve constitutional difficulties. I commend my hon. Friend on choosing the Adjournment debate and I am grateful to him for allowing me to speak...

Northern Ireland Act 1974 (7 Jul 1987)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Warley, West (Mr. Archer). It is appropriate at this time to say—as we have said before—that all of us in the House abhor violence and terrorism. We do not tolerate it, will have no truck with it and will not give it any support from whichever quarter it comes. That statement cannot be repeated too often in the House of Commons....

Public Order (Northern Ireland) (10 Mar 1987)

Mr Stuart Bell: ...as we know it in Northern Ireland. The Army is there playing a peculiar role — that of an army acting in a civil capacity by assisting the police, and also in a military capacity in combating terrorism. The Army is doing that with the assistance of the Ulster Defence Regiment. No one would wish to see a repeat of the events that occurred during last year's marching season when homes...
