Cheryl Gillan: ..., there is much that Conservative Members agree with. I was happy with the way in which the Government introduced the late clauses because of the need to tidy up some of the provisions relating to terrorism.

Orders of the Day — Drugs (Sentencing and Commission of Inquiry) Bill (25 Feb 2005)

Mrs Cheryl Gillan: ...the general election on 5 May—after which, of course, we shall have a chance to introduce and implement our own policies. Indeed, we saw an example of that this week. The Prevention of Terrorism Bill is highly controversial, but that did not stop the Government from rushing it through all its stages in double-quick time. If the Government were serious about drugs, my hon. Friend's...

Drugs Bill (Programme) (No.2) (22 Feb 2005)

Mrs Cheryl Gillan: ...'s recommendations. That does not surprise me, however. Only yesterday, the remaining stages of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill did not complete their course here.

International Criminal Court (27 Oct 1999)

Mrs Cheryl Gillan: ...that, on the preparatory commission—PrepCom—that target has moved. Is that so, and what does the Minister propose to do about it? There are plenty of anomalies in the treaty: acts of terrorism will fall outside the court's jurisdiction, as will the use of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. The use of poisoned weapons will constitute a war crime, so that the court would...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jan 1994)

Mrs Cheryl Gillan: ...Adams and Sinn Fein calling for the clarification of the Downing street declaration is just a sickening attempt by the IRA's apologists to shuffle the responsibility for their evil campaign of terror and fear?
