Terrorism (Foreign Policy Aspects) (8 Dec 2005)

John Horam: I shall confine my remarks to the situation in Iraq, which is obviously a subject of much comment in the Foreign Affairs Committee report and central to the debate about the war against terrorism. I say immediately in that context that we are all very concerned about the four hostages held by terrorists in Iraq, particularly, of course, Mr. Norman Kember, the British citizen. I am sure that...

Public Bill Committee: Civil Contingencies Bill: Clause 2 - Duty to assess, plan and advise (27 Jan 2004)

Mr John Horam: ...turn from the tragic one it took. In essence, we are suggesting three months, which is a nominal period to enable us to have a debate, but no one is stuck on that period. We are discussing terrorism, not just foot and mouth disease, and we must have a framework that forces civil servants—even new civil servants who are unaware of what happened in the past—to consider such...

Public Bill Committee: Civil Contingencies Bill: Clause 2 - Duty to assess, plan and advise (27 Jan 2004)

Mr John Horam: ...is needed to provide greater certainty, or we will end up in a situation similar to that of the foot and mouth disease outbreak. That is not acceptable when we are discussing the threat of terrorism.

Immigration (19 Mar 2003)

Mr John Horam: ...England, by more immigration, as well as some movement from the north of Britain. There are also huge costs to the taxpayer, as well as social stress—although I shall leave aside the issue of terrorism.

Mr John Horam: ...take place, by design, 10 years after the Rio summit and, by accident, nearly a year after the terrible events that took place in New York last September. Although we have, rightly, had to tackle terrorism by military means, a proper commitment to sustainable development is part of the answer to tackling the causes of terrorism.

Coalition Against International Terrorism (1 Nov 2001)

Mr John Horam: .... One of the Prime Minister's famous remarks was that we should be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime. That is also appropriate for dealing with the terrible problem of international terrorism. There is no question that we should be tough on the act of terrorism, but for two reasons. First, we have acted toughly, although with restraint, and we must continue to do so. If we...

Prayers: Metropolitan Police Budget (24 Mar 1999)

Mr John Horam: ..., it was not possible to collect it because the resources were not available. In my part of London there is a great deal of what another constituent has referred to as youth vandalism and terrorism. Other hon. Members will be familiar with the problem. Areas are troubled by youths who have had too much to drink and have too much time on their hands and the result is bricks through...

Prayers: Metropolitan Police Budget (24 Mar 1999)

Mr John Horam: ...likely to close. This, surely, will only make the local problems worse and it will be only a matter of time before the perpetrators of this vandalism realise that they can resume their reign of terror. Exactly my point. The closure of a police station will lead local youths to realise that they can get away with things once again and another reign of terror will be promulgated in the area.
