David Maclean: ...in overseas war zones. Will he and the Defence Secretary look to give an enhanced domestic role to the TA in dealing with security incidents at home, should they happen? If there is a major terrorism incident in this country, the regular Army and our security services will be hard-pressed. There could be an ideal role for the Territorial Army both in contributing to the security...

Sessional Orders: Debate on the Address — [First Day] (15 Nov 2006)

David Maclean: ...in many years. What that Labour councillor had to say was a revelation. I share that with the House because it highlights a very good point that we need to address. As we look at vitally important terrorism legislation in the next few months, we need to bear it in mind that we have got to get back in touch with the hearts and minds of those communities. If we are to influence the hearts...

New Clause 1: Offences (8 May 2000)

Mr David Maclean: There is a straightforward point to be made here: clause 49 as drafted is unjust and wrong. An innocent person unconnected with paedophilia, terrorism, drug dealing or crime of any kind, simply because information is required of him—he may have been sent an e-mail encrypted by mistake—and because, with the best will in the world, he cannot provide the encryption key, can be liable...

Orders of the Day — Representation of the People Bill: New System of Electoral Registration (19 Jan 2000)

Mr David Maclean: ...Northern Ireland, renewable by regulation each year until such time as the Secretary of State concludes that it is no longer needed—it would be similar to the provisions of the Prevention of Terrorism Acts. There are other means by which the Government can attain their end, so why put it in the Bill? I am giving the Government an opt-out, but what I really want to hear is not that...

Orders of the Day — Football (Offences and Disorder) Bill: Availability of International Football Banning Order in Respect of Unconvicted Persons (11 Jun 1999)

Mr David Maclean: ...fewer hooligans are attending football matches. My new clause seeks to deal with the small number of hard core supporters to whom the police continually refer. As with any criminal activity—terrorism and so on—the hard core offenders hide behind those in the front line and foment violence and disorder, but they are not convicted.

Prayers: Adjournment (Easter) (31 Mar 1999)

Mr David Maclean: ...;a man whom I respect—trying to stop the release of three terrorists from prison. That is a bit late from a Government who have already released early 245 pals of those terrorists. What other concessions to terrorism will the Government make this week, or even as we speak? I do not share the belief of some of my hon. Friends that this is the last day on which the House will sit...

Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland (Sentences) Bill: Notice of Decisions (17 Jun 1998)

Mr David Maclean: ...Constable of the RUC would have responsibility for giving information to the commission that may lead it to determine that the person concerned is still a danger to the public or is involved in terrorism. The commission may then refuse to grant that person's application for release. The commission is under an obligation to give reasons to the individual. It would be highly detrimental to...

Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland (Sentences) Bill: Licences: Conditions (17 Jun 1998)

Mr David Maclean: ...that they have, but because the organisation to which they belong is perceived by the Secretary of State to have satisfied certain criteria and can therefore be listed as not participating in terrorism. Having been released through no merit on his part but purely because of his status as a member of an organisation that has temporarily, or for a ploy, renounced violence, it would be...

Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland (Sentences) Bill: Licences: Conditions (17 Jun 1998)

Mr David Maclean: ...not about good citizens but about terrorists who have been sentenced fairly in a United Kingdom court to a term of imprisonment—perhaps five, 10 or 15 years, or life—for murder or terrorism. Those people are to be granted release because of a political settlement, and that release depends not on their behaviour, on their renouncing violence and becoming good citizens, but on...

Orders of the Day — National Minimum Wage Bill: Power of Secretary of State to Suspend the National Minimum Wage in the Case of National or Local Economic Emergencies (9 Mar 1998)

Mr David Maclean: ...like. The Government might ask what point there would be in suspending the minimum wage for three months, but the power would be extendable. In much the same way as we extend the Prevention of Terrorism Act annually, provision could be built into new clause 8 to allow the Government to extend the three-month period as they saw fit. The new clause would allow the Government to suspend the...

Orders of the Day — Crime (Sentences) Bill (4 Nov 1996)

Mr David Maclean: ...for Cardiff, South and Penarth is ruined by his record, as it was tonight. I am not talking only about his and the Labour party's disgraceful votes, again and again, against the Prevention of Terrorism Act. I am also talking about his votes against other legislation that punishes criminals and protects victims. He voted against life sentences for those who take a gun to commit a crime. The...

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Private Security Industry (6 Jun 1996)

Mr David Maclean: ...penalties for people who are cruel to children, against life imprisonment for hard drug dealers and for people who take guns to crime, and, seven times in a row, against the prevention of terrorism Act. If the House had agreed with him and had implemented the policies for which the Labour party voted, serious criminals would be walking the streets today instead of languishing in gaol. No...

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Private Security Industry (25 Apr 1996)

Mr David Maclean: ...10 the penalty for cruelty to children. Labour voted against penalties for hard drugs. Labour voted against the maximum penalty for taking a gun to crime. Labour voted against every prevention of terrorism Act until this year. Labour voted against many parts of the last criminal justice Bill and sabotaged others. We will produce our proposals for the private security industry in due...

Orders of the Day — Sexual Offences (Conspiracy and Incitement) Bill: Incitement to Commit Certain Sexual Acts Outside the United Kingdom (19 Apr 1996)

Mr David Maclean: ...fear—they would see the law as ineffective, as it would be. If we have no prosecutions, or one prosecution every five years and it fails—as it possibly could—it would not strike terror into the hearts of potential paedophiles, molesters or those putting messages on the Internet. To strike fear into the heart of potential criminals, we must have two things—as my...

Orders of the Day — Criminal Procedure and Investigations Bill [Lords] (27 Feb 1996)

Mr David Maclean: ...of the information that I extracted from Hansard last week, because I found some time to peruse Hansard carefully. I went back only as far as 7 March 1983, when the House debated the prevention of terrorism Act. Labour voted against. [HON. MEMBERS: "Guilty."] In November 1983, Labour voted against the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. [HON. MEMBERS: "Guilty."] In January 1984, Labour...

Orders of the Day — Criminal Procedure and Investigations Bill [Lords] (27 Feb 1996)

Mr David Maclean: .... Member for Blackburn said on television on Sunday, in supporting some of the measures suggested by my right hon. and learned Friend. I welcome his half about-turn in supporting the prevention of terrorism Act. Those actions are correct. However, because Labour has not voted against absolutely everything that we have proposed in the past few months, it does not expunge its record of...

New clause 6: Review of Pace (14 Feb 1996)

Mr David Maclean: ...already has experience of working with other law enforcement agencies or prosecutors in respect of its other functions. That has resulted in some important and successful prosecutions in a counter-terrorism context. Aspects of PACE will be relevant to the Security Service's new function. Members of the service are certainly subject to the law, and I assure the House that the position will...

New clause 1: Powers of Police Complaints Authority (14 Feb 1996)

Mr David Maclean: ...there is a complaint. As the hon. Gentleman said, we are currently in that scenario because of the help that the Security Service is giving the Metropolitan police in leading the fight against terrorism in Britain. At the present time, it is possible that members of the public will come up against a member of the Security Service when they think that they are dealing with a police...
