Orders of the Day — Prevention of Terrorism Bill (23 Feb 2005)

Mr Brian Sedgemore: ...the latter's performance at the Dispatch Box yesterday. It did not take Home Office civil servants or the secret police long to put poison in his water, did it? Paper No. 1, entitled "International Terrorism: the Threat", which the Home Secretary produced yesterday and I have read, is a putrid document if it is intended to justify the measure. Indeed, the Home Secretary dripped out bits of...

Orders of the Day — Criminal Justice Bill (4 Dec 2002)

Mr Brian Sedgemore: ...good. We should challenge the Home Secretary on what higher good he is seeking to achieve in the Bill. Sadly, the Home Secretary's predilection for the philosophy of Junius was evident in the Anti-Terrorism, Crime And Security Act 2001, in which he paved the way for locking up foreigners indefinitely without charge, trial or sentence. Once a Home Secretary starts to erode civil liberties,...

Orders of the Day — Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Bill (19 Nov 2001)

Mr Brian Sedgemore: ...member was Castlereagh: "I met Murder on the way— He had a mask like Castlereagh". A psychopath, before he went mad and cut his own throat he converted a Dublin riding school to a den of terror where anyone remotely thought to be connected with rebels against the Crown was flogged with the cat o'nine tails until either bones showed beneath the flesh or he betrayed his friends. Now...

Coalition Against International Terrorism (1 Nov 2001)

Mr Brian Sedgemore: .... It was well worth listening to. In recent weeks, the Prime Minister has repeatedly told us that the war against Osama bin Laden and the Taliban is not about religion or Islam, but solely about terrorism. Such historical and theological ignorance does a grave disservice to us all. Consider for a moment three recent and indisputable facts. The first is Mohammed Atta's last will and...

Coalition Against International Terrorism (1 Nov 2001)

Mr Brian Sedgemore: ...must know that bin Laden issued a fatwa in 1998 calling for the killing of American civilians and that he recently had a video sent around the globe to incite Muslims to mass murder. If that is not terrorism, then the year that I spent studying the subject was clearly in vain. It is more likely, however, that it was Imran Khan's education at expensive schools in the United Kingdom that was...

London Regional Transport (Consideration of Bill) (20 Feb 1985)

Mr Brian Sedgemore: ...time to consider what has happened in Committee before we have to deal with the Report stage. I can think of only two precedents for what the Government are doing. The first was the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1974, which went through Parliament in one day. I did not agree with that. The second precedent was the Bill to nationalise Rolls-Royce when that company was...

Business of the House (19 Jul 1984)

Mr Brian Sedgemore: Is it not time that we had an opportunity to debate the mounting evidence of bribery, corruption and terror in Oman, and the respective roles of the Prime Minister, the Home Secretary and defence chiefs?

Clause 9: Supplemental Provisions (28 Nov 1974)

Mr Brian Sedgemore: I am not sure that the point has been cleared up. The Minister says that the reason that the arrest is not qualified by relating the acts of terrorism to Northern Ireland is that it is unreasonable to expect a police constable to decide on the spot whether the preparation or commission of the act relates to Northern Ireland. I can see that, but if a policeman arrests under this provision and...
