Intelligence and Security Committee (7 May 2009) has video

Dari Taylor: ...pressure to know the individuals who are actually or potentially involved in plots against our communities and to have adequate knowledge to prevent those plots from being carried out. Counter-terrorism is a highly pressurised and dangerous world—it is a 24/7 world—and it is particularly problematic for all who are on the front line. That debt of thanks is more than well...

Bill Presented: Intelligence and Security Committee (17 Jul 2008) has video

Dari Taylor: ...piece, for all agencies, enables the efficient and effective management of a vast bulk of information. It supports collaboration. Reference was made from the Front Bench to the worry that counter-terrorism operations have taken over, and that counter-espionage programmes are now less and less well funded. Again, the Committee shares that consideration, and it is resolved to monitor the...

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

Dari Taylor: ...Australia, most certainly have not faced the hideousness of 15 very serious terrorist attempts, and most certainly have not seen 52 of their citizens die and 800 seriously affected as a result of terrorism. It is not true that comparisons are easy. I do not choose to make them; most particularly, I state that they should not be made.

Dari Taylor: ...brought on a sound basis, without the necessity to use the threshold test, which is undoubtedly second-best, as the Crown Prosecution Service recognises." ——[Official Report, Counter-Terrorism Public Bill Committee, 24 April 2008; c. 122.] We were concerned to see the evidence that we took factually represented.

Dari Taylor: ...that we were possibly attempting to improve, but most certainly hoping to achieve consensus on and support for. The evidence spanned that from the secretary of the Coroners Society, the Home Office terrorism specialist, Lord Carlile, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, the Association of Chief Police Officers, Justice and Liberty. A vast range of excellent evidence was presented and...

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

Dari Taylor: .... We are looking at a situation in which many more people are potentially highly problematic to us. Added to that was the complexity of the situation. We have all spoken about the global nature of terrorism and its investigation and about an informal network that is working within communities. In addition, there is the use of mobile phones, internet communications and the rest, which makes...

Public Bill Committee: Counter-Terrorism Bill: Schedule 1 (6 May 2008)

Dari Taylor: ...hon. Gentleman speaks a language that we all understand, of wanting—in fact, needing—to see compelling evidence. Would he accept a statement that is made in a lot of the literature on terrorism, that radicalisation has no visible progression? That makes it very difficult for us to see where it is, how it is developing and where it will act. Does he acknowledge that that is a...

Public Bill Committee: Counter-Terrorism Bill: Schedule 1 (6 May 2008)

Dari Taylor: I have no doubt that there is a commonality of purpose across the House. I am sure that every Member wants to establish measures that will enable the pursuit of terrorists and prevent acts of terrorism. I am disappointed that we seem unable to achieve consensus. The reserve powers asked for are to be used in an emergency and temporarily, should they be required. I was of the belief that that...

Public Bill Committee: Counter-Terrorism Bill: Schedule 1 (6 May 2008)

Dari Taylor: .... Again, I quote Lord Carlile who referred to “something approaching the criminality of which it is reasonably suspected that they are guilty”——[Official Report, Counter-Terrorism Public Bill Committee, 24 April 2008; c. 122, Q323.] Here we are, using the words that we can and attempting to understand where we are with intelligence gathering. It is a monstrously...

Dari Taylor: ...when greater evidence might have been made available by following up sensitive intelligence or other evidence that is inadmissible for the time being.”——[Official Report, Counter-Terrorism Public Bill Committee, 24 April 2008; c. 123, Q325.] He referenced encrypted material, inquiries abroad and people who are unfit to give evidence. Is that evidence not persuasive to the...

Public Bill Committee: Counter-Terrorism Bill (24 Apr 2008)

Dari Taylor: There is great interest in radicalisation, so I would like to suggest that, if people have not read Michael Gove’s book on terrorism, it is well worth reading. It is a well-rounded book that I would recommend you pick up. My interest and concern is in using intercept as evidence. I feel a lot more comfortable knowing that there will be an informal seminar on intercept; that will be very...

Public Bill Committee: Counter-Terrorism Bill: Written evidence to be reported to the House (22 Apr 2008)

Dari Taylor: ...you might indulge me and acknowledge a concern that I have. The proportionality argument, which you expressed brilliantly, is acceptable when we are at a point such as this one, when acts of terrorism have been stopped. After 7/7, there was a significant appetite to act and to react, perhaps appropriately, perhaps inappropriately. My concern is that we are at a period in which we have seen...

Public Bill Committee: Counter-Terrorism Bill: Written evidence to be reported to the House (22 Apr 2008)

Dari Taylor: ...should like to put this question to you in case you feel that it is appropriate. There is concern that using intercept evidence could define agencies’ weaknesses in their investigations into terrorism. Do you have a sense that that could be the case, or are there sufficient safeguards to ensure that that does not happen?

Dari Taylor: ...a legal and democratic process that will, in an emergency, support the security services, giving them adequate time to detect, detain and charge so that they can prevent further successful acts of terrorism. The process outlined in the Bill carefully attempts to do that, but it also protects individual liberties. The Bill acknowledges that the security agencies and police who work in the...

Orders of the Day: Counter-Terrorism Bill (1 Apr 2008) has video

Dari Taylor: .... That statement will outline the Home Secretary's belief, based on evidence given, either that there is to be an investigation into the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism, or that what appears to be an act of terrorism has taken place and has given rise to an exceptional operational need. The Government are clearly attempting to say that the facts of a situation...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Sub-continent (25 Jun 2002)

Ms Dari Taylor: ...to hear whether he has had discussions with the Indian and Pakistani authorities on the three assurances given by General Musharraf. Those assurances, which were warmly welcomed, were to stop terrorism—which my right hon. Friend has mentioned—to stop infiltration and to dismantle terrorist networks. Although it is still early days, will my right hon. Friend tell the House...
