David Chaytor: ...the clause as it stands, we are confusing the political and ethical purpose of Government policy with the precise legislative detail designed to implement that policy. For example, in the Counter-Terrorism Bill, which was a matter of great controversy just a few days ago, was there a purpose provision setting out clearly the objectives of 42-day detention?

Orders of the Day: Energy Bill (22 Jan 2008) has video

David Chaytor: ..., and I find it difficult to understand how we can say that that is something that we should pass on to future generations. My hon.

David Chaytor: I would very much like my fears to be allayed, but I think that the risk is there.

Mr David Chaytor: ...new inspection proposals, and I commend Ofsted and the current chief inspector on the drawing up of his new inspection framework, which responds sensitively to the criticisms of the old regime of terror to which the hon.

Although the report is about all aspects of terrorism, I want to speak specifically about Iraq, as I have not yet had the opportunity to do so during the past five or six months. I fully supported the use of force in the Gulf war in 1990, in...

Iraq (13 Feb 2003)

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Terrorism (10 Dec 2002)

Mr David Chaytor: ...of a war in Iraq? Is it solely about weapons of mass destruction? Is it about human rights? Is it about democracy in the middle east? Is it about regime change? Is it part of the war against terror and, if so, is it likely to increase or decrease the terrorist threat?

Business of the House (22 Nov 2001)

Mr David Chaytor: ...my right hon. Friend agree that it is frustrating that in the United Kingdom it should take almost four years to implement freedom of information legislation?

Although the manufacture of MOX consumes...

Bills Presented: Defence Policy (28 Oct 1997)

Mr David Chaytor: ...cold war. It is said that future threats to our security will come, not from global nuclear warfare but from a series of regional conflicts, from ethnic struggles and divisions, from international terrorism and from the increasing problem of the international drugs trade. It follows that the central issue for the defence review is whether our current military structures, systems, personnel...
