Has not the Home Secretary acknowledged in parliamentary...
- Outlawries Bill: Debate on the Address — [First Day] (6 Nov 2007)
Vincent Cable: I thought that the Conservatives put forward their views in very polite language, but I am afraid that, deep down, the prejudices are all too plain. The proposed counter-terrorism Bill will be an important piece of legislation. I think that it is the Government's eighth counter-terrorism Bill, which suggests either that the previous seven were not very successful or that the Government are...
- Opposition Day — [17th allotted day]: Alleged Overseas Corruption (16 Jul 2007) has video
Vincent Cable: ...that he took his duties so seriously. It is clear that either he thought that the public interest in proceeding was compelling, and sufficient that he could initially ignore advice about counter-terrorism, or he found the arguments about counter-terrorism unpersuasive. Subsequently, the director of the SFO said in evidence to the Select Committee on Constitutional Affairs, chaired by my...

- Opposition Day — [5th allotted day]: Al-Yamamah Arms Agreement (7 Feb 2007)
Vincent Cable: ...in many publications, but I recommend the one by Mr. Sandy Mitchell and his collaborator Bob Hollingsworth. Mr. Mitchell was a Glaswegian medical technician who was arrested and charged with terrorism because the Saudi Interior Minister, Prince Naif, wanted to pretend that al-Qaeda terrorism was committed not by Saudis but by "British intelligence and the Jews". That was the opinion of one...

Dr Vincent Cable: ...oil shock. The Saudi Oil Minister was in London yesterday arguing that something of the order of $15 a barrel is still being paid, on account of the political risk arising from the war and enhanced terrorism risk in the middle east. The oil price could get a good deal worse, but it is not a factor that the Government can control. A second challenge that is looming is the problem presented...

Dr Vincent Cable: ...certainly accept that the Metropolitan police were notorious for the inefficiency of some of their operations a few years ago. That has greatly changed. The hon. Gentleman referred specifically to terrorism. There is a query about how the Government will approach that. That is not a criticism.

- Strategic Export Controls (27 Mar 2003)
Dr Vincent Cable: ..., I want to raise the issue that was effectively pursued by the hon. Member for Brent, North (Mr. Gardiner). It concerned the new environment in which we operate. There is a heightened awareness of terrorism, particularly the problems of rogue states, and how our export control system should adapt to deal with that situation. Instinctively, I should have thought that we should be heading...

Dr Vincent Cable: ...whether the Minister will conduct as part of the inquiry an analytical study of what is driving this big problem in the insurance market.

A second factor is the collapse of independent insurance, which dealt with the...

Dr Vincent Cable: ...liquefied natural gas carriers, rather than through pipelines. Various means of supply therefore exist within the gas industry itself. Although we must be responsible and think about the threat of terrorism and so on, alarmist talk about it has been wildly exaggerated. In the very long term, gas must of course be phased out, but because it is a carbon-based fuel rather than because of...
- Prayers: Metropolitan Police Budget (24 Mar 1999)
Dr Vincent Cable: .... It does not fully capture London's genuinely distinct problems. Some of those problems are acknowledged—for example, the obligation of the Metropolitan police to deal with the problems of terrorism or to cover the royal palaces. Some of those problems are more subtle: the fact that London is a centre for organised crime and is at the centre of the big end of the drug business. I am...
- Policing of London (14 Nov 1997)
Dr Vincent Cable: .... of all the realised earnings—rents—from the drug trade are realised in London. It is substantially a London problem.

I find it more than a little irritating that under that heading there appears the cryptic note,...
