- Guantanamo Bay (UK Detainees) (17 Nov 2004)
Mr Roger Godsiff: ...with my hon. Friend. Again, I make it plain that we must pursue international terrorists who carry out evil atrocities. As an individual MP, I consistently supported the war against international terrorism and the invasion of Afghanistan in pursuit of the al-Qaeda organisation. I opposed the invasion of Iraq because I believed that it was a distraction in the war against international...
- Guantanamo Bay (UK Detainees) (17 Nov 2004)
Mr Roger Godsiff: ...Feroz Abbasi, Martin Mubanga, Richard Belmar and my constituent Moazzam Begg. Let me say at the start that I have consistently supported action by the international community against international terrorism, which is a threat to us all; the civilised values that we stand for must be upheld and fought for.

Mr Roger Godsiff: ...I support the actions of the international coalition. I do not say that with any joy. I do not like our country being involved in a war. But, I regret to say, there is no alternative. International terrorism is a threat to us all and if we do not combat it, it will kill us. The overwhelming majority of British Muslims unreservedly condemn the atrocities of 11 September, not least because...
- Croydon Tramlink Bill [Lords]: Suppression of Terrorism (India) (21 Jul 1993)
Mr Roger Godsiff: Like the hon. Member for Keighley (Mr. Waller), I regret that I also cannot support the treaty—not because I am not as committed as any hon. Member to combating international terrorism, but because I do not believe that the order contributes to achieving that. I also believe—this legitimate fear is shared by many hon. Members—that the treaty will be used by the Indian...
