Member for Southampton, Itchen (Mr. Denham) has done the House a service in talking about the Bill as part of the approach that the Government and Parliament need to adapt to the problems of terrorism and justice.

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...it is amended. I view this as a probing amendment, and look forward to what my right hon. and learned Friend the Home Secretary has to say.

Those who come with the President could then have a full picture of...

Member for Strangford (Mr. Taylor) condemn violence on both sides and refer to the need to isolate terrorism.

There may be another occasion when I can do that, but I wish to say to his family that issues relating to terrorism are no more important than the incident which caused them such suffering.

Northern Ireland (Appropriation) (12 Mar 1990)

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...necessary media attention to bombs, bullets and bigotry is that sometimes it squeezes out other things for which Northern Ireland would otherwise be known.
