Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (25 Mar 2009) has video

Julian Brazier: Yesterday, the Government announced their national security strategy. After the 7/7 bombings, the then Prime Minister made it clear that his highest single priority was the deportation of foreign terror suspects from this country. Can the right hon. and learned Lady tell the House how many foreign terror suspects have been deported?

Business of the House (13 Dec 2007)

Julian Brazier: ...Bay, and I am sure there is a welcome for the fact that the place is at last being run down, but may we have a debate in the House about the extraordinary Government decision to invite five terror suspects, none of whom are British citizens and one of whom stayed here for only a relatively short period, to come to this country, rather than being repatriated to their own countries?

[David Taylor in the Chair] — Airport Security (10 Jul 2007)

Julian Brazier: ...for use in other countries, and develop it into much better systems. We need to work from the beginning of the process. What happens in our airports is only a small part of the battle against terrorism. Thanks to the initiative of the hon. Gentleman, we are rightly focusing on that small part today, but, ultimately, the development of intelligence and many other central areas for which the...

Points of Order (2 May 2007)

Julian Brazier: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I ask for your ruling on the matter of sub judice? Both yesterday and today there have been references to the appalling judgment whereby two Libyan terror suspects are not being deported. Is it possible to ask on the Floor of the House why France, Germany and Holland are able to deport their terror suspects, but our courts do not allow us to do so?

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Departmental Restructuring (30 Apr 2007)

Julian Brazier: But which of the two new Government Departments will be responsible for picking up the pieces from yesterday's dismal decision on the two Libyan terror suspects?

Written Answers — Home Department: Terrorism Bill (23 Nov 2005)

Julian Brazier: ...before 26 October and (b) after 26 October on which (i) the chief constable and (ii) other senior police officers of Kent police contacted hon. Members representing constituencies in Kent about the Terrorism Bill; and what form that contact took.

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2005)

Julian Brazier: The tube terrorists were British, but does the Prime Minister agree that many of those who organise terrorist training, build terrorist bombs and preach a message of hate from British pulpits have come in from abroad? Will he further agree that it is both unfortunate and unacceptable that Parliament should be forbidden by the highest court in this country from distinguishing between its...

Western Balkans (11 Nov 2004)

Mr Julian Brazier: The Minister talked about an as yet to be defined counter-terrorism role. The fact remains that, however large the British involvement, there must be a single, clearly defined chain of command. It must be clear, not only who is responsible for what, but who is answerable to whom. There still seems to be a recipe for confusion.

International Trafficking of Women (15 Sep 2004)

Mr Julian Brazier: ...services, which we have welcomed. Some of the money should be used to deal with this issue. These are the same criminals who are involved in many other areas of crime, and even, I suspect, in terrorism. The National Criminal Intelligence Service needs to place more emphasis on the matter, too. We are dealing with a market as large as that of drugs. We need to do more to defend our...

International Trafficking of Women (15 Sep 2004)

Mr Julian Brazier: ...treatment as is currently given to the drugs trade. People smugglers—often the same gangs—have introduced terrifying new levels of criminality into parts of Europe. The corruption and terror that they import into the UK and the destruction of the lives of innocent, vulnerable people are a blot on our society. We owe it to their victims to tackle the problem urgently.

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (17 Mar 2004)

Mr Julian Brazier: The Prime Minister knows that the Conservative party has solidly supported him in the war against international terrorism, but I urge him to read the report of the Defence Committee, chaired by one of his right hon. Friends. Is he really happy that, when we face this threat, we have the smallest Regular Army for more than a century, the smallest reserves for several centuries, and our...

Afghanistan (29 Jan 2004)

Mr Julian Brazier: ...that there is nothing inconsistent between what he rightly says about the wishes of those extremely brave people on the one hand and the fact that it takes only a small minority, through the use of terrorism, to continue to thwart those aspirations. That is why it is so important that the outside community continues to emphasise the military and security side for a long time.

Afghanistan (29 Jan 2004)

Mr Julian Brazier: The hon. Lady nods. There have been constant reports of kidnapping, extortion and acts of terrorism, all aimed at destabilising the country. According to the logic of the terrorist, if he kills those distributing food and bringing hope to the people, he improves the environment for reaping the crop that he wants. For many Afghans today, it is unsafe simply to get on with ordinary life. There...

Middle East (3 Jun 2003)

Mr Julian Brazier: ..., threatens to cause generations of trouble on a scale that is difficult to exaggerate. The current miserable situation in the Holy Land, which is sacred to three faiths, is grounded in an original terror—that of the Jewish settlers who arrived in what was then the Turkish province of Palestine before the first world war and between the wars under the British mandate. That terror was...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Military Communications (29 Apr 2002)

Mr Julian Brazier: ...welcome, but will he confirm that even on his own schedule most of the British Army will be left with communications that are well behind those of many third world countries? On the battle against terrorism, what steps are the MOD and its sister Departments taking to provide some form of intercommunication between our armed forces and the various civilian agencies that will be used in the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: International Terrorism (14 Jan 2002)

Mr Julian Brazier: I welcome any opportunity to strengthen this country's anti-terrorism defences, but does the Secretary of State know of any example of its embarking on an overseas anti-terrorism peacekeeping mission over the past 50 years without that mission's being prefaced with confident remarks about it all being over in a few months, followed by finding ourselves involved for years and years? As we take...

Public Bill Committee: Adoption and Children Bill: Clause 94 - Proceedings for offences (4 Dec 2001)

Mr Julian Brazier: ...not agree more strongly with him and I look forward to debating the matter. I turn to the role of the Attorney-General. Hon. Members will remember that during the debate on the Home Office's Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill, the point was made repeatedly that although reserving powers to the Attorney-General for prosecution is not unprecedented, it is certainly unusual and...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (31 Oct 2001)

Mr Julian Brazier: In the light of the rather complacent reply on emergency planning for terrorism given a moment ago by the Parliamentary Secretary, when will the Government sort out some radios so that the police, fire brigade and ambulance service can talk to each other, and to the military, on the same frequency during a crisis?

Defence White Paper (28 Feb 2000)

Mr Julian Brazier: ...Royal United Services Institute after the strategic defence review, he said that we had not yet seen a strategic security review, which would have to address the problems of "asymmetric" threats: terrorism, possibly using crude chemical and biological weapons ö the other weapons which the weak may choose to deploy against the strong. He went on to point out: SDR has not sufficiently...

Orders of the Day — Prevention of Terrorism (Northern Ireland) (24 May 1994)

Mr Julian Brazier: ...with which he agrees and disagrees, would he like to make it clear whether there are any extra powers that he thinks the security forces should enjoy in Ulster to defeat the very real threat from terrorism?
