Iraq (18 Mar 2003)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...components: the available weapons and the likelihood of their use. In the past, the Iraqi regime has manufactured chemical, biological and probably nerve agents. They are weapons not of war but of terror, of which Saddam Hussein must undoubtedly be deprived. However, the Government have not demonstrated that they are easily available for use now. Neither have they shown that, contrary to...

Defence in the World (22 Jan 2003)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...and take place outside Iraq. We must make, what Saddam Hussein will never make—every attempt to protect the lives of the innocent, be they our own people threatened by the upsurge of Islamic terrorism, or those who have for so long been oppressed in Iraq. If we can achieve what is necessary by peaceful, albeit admittedly, draconian means, that is clearly preferable. The Iraqi regime...

Ships and Seafarers (Safety) (25 Jun 2002)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...safety. More details were in the press release of 3 May 2001. It is now a year on. Will the Minister tell us what has happened to that Bill? One of the IMO's current concerns is safety from terrorism following 11 September. As that tragedy made painfully clear, economic globalisation and technological interdependence have brought unforeseen global security threats, which affect not only...

International Terrorism and Attacks in the USA (14 Sep 2001)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: Terrorism is a hydra-headed monster. While the exercise of military might is right, does the Prime Minister accept that that alone will not be enough? There must be some understanding of why there is such hatred for so many institutions in the United States. Unless we deal with some of the deep-seated causes, more terrorists will come to the fore.

Fisheries: Adjournment (Christmas) (13 Dec 1999)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: I beg to move that this House should not adjourn until it has considered a clear and present danger: nuclear terrorism. New York City Under Threat From Iranian-Backed Terrorist Group would be an alarming headline, but not one without precedent. If we knew that those terrorists were armed with a primitive nuclear device stolen from a loosely guarded Russian stockpile, it would be the stuff of...

Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland Bill (13 Jul 1999)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...like for those who do, or what it must be like for Northern Ireland Members who have seen their family, friends, neighbours and constituents bombed, beaten, shot and terrorised. The only time when terrorism can be understood, if not condoned, is when there is no alternative, no democracy, no hope. That is not the case with the IRA in Northern Ireland. It has no such excuse. As a...

Yemen (11 Jan 1999)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...not go much further than the foothills. What I find extraordinary is the fact that Foreign Office travel advice for that country—where anarchy rules so frequently, and where there has been terrorism consistently, for decades—was not substantially upgraded after the bombing of Iraq. Perhaps the Foreign Secretary can explain why. He needs to tell us why neither he nor the Foreign...

Bill Presented: Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Bill (2 Sep 1998)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...IRA, Real IRA, the INLA or whoever, can we remember that it is in the power of Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and the others in the army council of the IRA to tell those perpetrating this form of terrorism to stop or take the consequences?

Bill Presented: Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Bill (2 Sep 1998)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: I am grateful to the Home Secretary for giving way. We can all agree that it is important to introduce good-quality legislation to deal with international terrorism, particularly as international terrorism is changing from state-sponsored terrorism to a rather apolitical form of terrorism. Although it is important, why is it so urgent to table legislation that will not receive proper...

Bill Presented: Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Bill (2 Sep 1998)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...the scope of that review to allow the use of intelligence information in a way that will not compromise the asset that provides it? That could be important, particularly as regards international terrorism.

Bill Presented: Business of the House (Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Bill) (2 Sep 1998)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...thing again. It is interesting to see the way in which the tone of the House has changed over the past two hours. It is clear to me at least that the House is angered that two different types of terrorism are getting mixed up in one Bill. Will the Government consider removing all those parts of the legislation to do with international terrorism, so that they can be given clear and...

Iraq (17 Feb 1998)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...greater now than they were at the time of the Falklands or in 1990–91. There is considerable alarm at the possible scale of Iraqi casualties, and great fear at the prospect of Iraqi-inspired terrorism in the United Kingdom. Many suspect that President Clinton wants a little foreign adventure. The result of this considerable unease is that many are saying, "We must stop and we must...

Iraq (10 Feb 1998)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: Chemical, biological and nerve agents are not targeted weapons of war, but weapons of mass terror. As such, they do not require missiles to be delivered; a garage full of trucks will do equally as well. That being the case, and because an air war is unlikely to take out either the means of delivery or all those weapons of mass terror, should not the twin objectives be, first, to get rid of as...

Terrorist Incidents (The Netherlands) (3 May 1988)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: International co-operation has rightly been identified by my right hon. Friend as being essential for the defeat of the scourge of terrorism. Is he satisfied that agreements such as the Trevi agreement are fully and effectively implemented by their signatories?

Chancellor of the Exchequer (Statement): Firearms (26 Oct 1987)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...is serious, as I am sure he is, about reducing murder and mayhem on the streets, will he explain why the Labour party has voted in the last four years against the prevention and suppression of terrorism legislation?

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (30 Oct 1986)

Mr Jonathan Sayeed: ...my right hon. Friend explain today why the European Commission is selling cut-price grain to Syria? Does she recognise how irritating that is and the considerable anger that that subsidy to state terrorism has caused?
