Orders of the Day — Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) (No. 2) Bill: Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism (10 Jul 2007) has video

Gwyneth Dunwoody: ..., they must not only be justified—they must be supported by people who are democrats and who want to live in a free society. If we accept restrictions that, in themselves, do the job of the terrorists, we may be playing the wrong game. I hope that the Minister will not get too hung up on the suggestion that there is no evidence. Many of us feel that if we are to combat this terror,...

Orders of the Day: Police and Justice Bill (24 Oct 2006)

Gwyneth Dunwoody: ...I say that I might not be with him—but what concerns me a little is the clarity of the situation. For the benefit of those of us who are non-lawyers, is he saying that if, for example, in a terrorism case there was insufficient evidence in this country to prosecute, but nevertheless within the United States there was suitable and convincing evidence that would allow people to...

Orders of the Day — Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill — [1st Allotted Day]: New Clause 6 — Interception of communications (7 Feb 2005)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: ...the last 35 minutes clearly demonstrated that we are in danger of destroying the rights of the House of Commons, since a matter of considerable importance—intercepting material in cases of terrorism—has simply not been debated? Although one Conservative Member referred to the issue, not a single other Member from any party was able to participate in the debate. Is it not time...

Air Passengers (Us Immigration Requirements) (25 May 2004)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: ...would entail "data mining" and profiling all passengers. Furthermore, there was nothing to prevent such data from being fed "into a huge . . . database for purposes . . . unrelated to the combat of terrorism or the protection of airline security". It is perfectly possible, as in the case of some other countries, that routine income tax investigations could be included in the data made...

Coalition against International Terrorism (16 Oct 2001)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: I have a simple point to put to my right hon. Friend, who will be aware of the deep unease in the British population, who know that one does not on the whole deal with terrorism by mass intervention at state level. That action is important and, indeed, there has been no criticism of it as an initial response. The British people will support the intervention as long as it is short and clearly...

Miscellaneous (4 Apr 2001)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: ...Commons should not rush through legislation without being clear what it is doing. Does my right hon. Friend accept that some of the Bills that he has mentioned, particularly that on prevention of terrorism, are clear examples of what happens when this House accepts legislation in one day? It then has to spend considerable time amending it.

Football (Disorder) Bill (Allocation of Time): Supplemental orders (17 Jul 2000)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: ..., it frequently makes mistakes. We have the right to push legislation through in one day: it has been done in my lifetime and in yours, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I recall several Acts dealing with terrorism passing with total agreement and astonishing speed—although even some of those proved to be less than good legislation and had to be reviewed. I do not want to detain the House and I...

Bill Presented: Business of the House (Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Bill) (2 Sep 1998)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: ...reservations about the way in which our proceedings today are being organised. I hope that it will be clear that they stem not from objection to the need to do something urgent about the horrendous terrorism but from something stronger that can be summed up in a very simple phrase—my misgivings about legislation that is rushed and probably will not, in the final analysis, be capable...

New Clause 1: Transport Police (Jurisdiction) Bill (21 Mar 1994)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: Has my hon. Friend thought that the last Bill that went through this place at exactly this speed was the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1974, which is not exactly noted for being the most beautifully crafted piece of legislation that the House of Commons has ever accepted?

Aviation and Maritime Security Bill (10 Jan 1990)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: There is, unhappily, a constant freemasonry of terror. There are nations that, when they feel that they are losing the political argument, will not hesitate to use other nations' civilians as bargaining pawns. The nation that decides to blow 500 people out of the air is not particularly committed to democratic ideals or interested in the general security of the travelling public. For that...

Orders of the Day — Foreign Affairs, European Community and Defence (24 Nov 1989)

Mrs Gwyneth Dunwoody: ...the need for an open expression of political views. They have a right to be untrusting of those with whom they have to talk and who are, after all, people who have carried on a violent war of terrorism against Israel for many years. If the Israeli people are wary of the movement towards talks, that is only too understandable. If we in Britain give as much encouragement as we can to the...
