Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (11 Nov 2009)

Tony Lloyd: ...that context, it is worth my quoting two distinguished Americans. The first is Senator Sam Nunn, who testified to the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, which was appointed by Congress.

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Afghanistan and Pakistan (29 Apr 2009)

Tony Lloyd: My right hon. Friend has rightly reminded the House that Pakistan and its people have been great victims of terrorism yet, despite that, the overwhelming majority remain wedded to democracy.

Points of Order: Counter-Terrorism Bill (13 Oct 2008) has video

Tony Lloyd: ...stand out? The first is that she sought consensus across this House and could not find it. The second is that senior police officers and police forces such as my own, which are used to dealing with terrorism, are convinced that the time may well come when more than 28 days will be needed. The third is that she must offer the British public the kind of protection that is adequate to tackle...

Orders of the Day: "Part IV — Bail (11 Jun 2008) has video

Tony Lloyd: ...28 days. It is a matter of practical fact that in one case it took my local police force 27 days, 20 hours and 40 minutes to charge someone. The chief constable is both honest and experienced in terrorism. I asked him whether that period was needed. He said that it was, and what is more, he believes that the time is close when he will need more than 28 days.

Orders of the Day — Terrorism Bill (26 Oct 2005)

Tony Lloyd: The Home Secretary is right to remind us of the grave threats that our society faces from terrorism. Every Member of the House would be at one with him on that. However, the House has a duty to find a balance between measures that are necessary in an era of new technical challenges and new types of terrorism, and safeguards for the traditional values of our society and the legitimate rights...

Orders of the Day — Terrorism Bill (26 Oct 2005)

Tony Lloyd: ...right, but we must do so, because if we fail we risk doing far more damage by imposing this law than we do in terms of enhancing the security of our own population or advancing the fight against terrorism more generally. I had a brief exchange with the Home Secretary about the Bill's compatibility with the European convention on human rights. I am less certain than he is that the 90 days'...

Orders of the Day — Terrorism Bill (26 Oct 2005)

Tony Lloyd: ...hon. Friend spoke about the need to comply with the European convention, and I endorse what he said very strongly. However, this country gives off very strong signals when it changes its laws on terrorism. Any change here is used as evidence by other countries that they can do the same. Given that, is this aspect of the Bill compatible with the European convention?

Kosovo (4 May 2004)

Mr Tony Lloyd: ...played by the media. It is something that we will have to consider: who controls the flow of information? Who whipped up the incident of the deaths of the Albanian children in a way that allowed terror and mob rule to run amok? Of course, both the hon. Gentleman and my hon. Friend the Member for Halifax (Mrs. Mahon) were right to point out that there were almost certainly political minds...

Immigration Entry Clearance Standards (30 Mar 2004)

Mr Tony Lloyd: ...has made one of the most sensible points that we have heard in all this. In the context of migration from south-east Europe, we know that we are dealing with criminality and possibly even with terrorism. The allegation that our right hon. Friend the Minister of State would collude in that is not just ridiculous but goes so far over the top that I think Opposition Members should consider...

European Council/Libya (29 Mar 2004)

Mr Tony Lloyd: Does my right hon. Friend agree that for every citizen in this country we want and need a European Union that works efficiently and effectively whether that is on jobs, terrorism, security or anything else and that the rule book is no longer up to the task? We need the new constitution to ensure, in an enlarged Europe, that the EU works for every man, woman and child in our country.

A modernised fire service must be able to deal with conventional emergencies and with the greater difficulties arising out of, for example, terrorism. It is in everybody's interest that fire service personnel can negotiate properly in connection with the changes that take place. In the end, it is not possible to impose an operating...

Iraq and the Middle East (14 Apr 2003)

Mr Tony Lloyd: ...set on the need to build co-operation and on a new spirit with the other permanent members of the Security Council—France, Russia and China. If we are to get back to the tasks of the war on terrorism and the building of the middle east peace process, that co-operation will be important much further afield. In passing, I point to Kashmir as one issue that needs attention. In that...

Iraq (26 Feb 2003)

Mr Tony Lloyd: ...North Korea and another in respect of Iraq. Some of my hon. Friends mocked when one of our colleagues talked about that the probability that military action would make the world more unstable and terrorism more likely. However, I well remember, even if they do not, that during the invasion of Kuwait pictures of Saddam were held up by dispossessed Palestinians. I condemn their actions, but...

Greater Manchester Police Incident (15 Jan 2003)

Mr Tony Lloyd: ...of tragedy does not happen too often, but it is something that is in the very nature of the role that the police perform. My right hon. Friend had to act against those suspected of involvement in terrorism.
