Council Tax Capping (Surrey) (9 Jun 2009)

Ian Taylor: ...up cases, we have lobbied the Government for better treatment in order to balance the county's financial position. For instance, it sometimes has to respond to events at Heathrow—and not only terrorism: occasionally, misguided environmental protests require a lot of police attention, and security is a concern. We are looking for a sensible balance. First, we should avoid re-billing....

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (28 Oct 2008) has video

Ian Taylor: ...Minister understand my concerns that the welcome increase in compensation for military injury in the battlefield has not been reflected in the civilian damages paid to people who are affected by terrorism? I have a constituent who was injured in the July 2005 bombings—she suffered more than 22 serious injuries. I do not accept that the tariff in the new scheme will properly reflect...

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

Ian Taylor: ...not have done it." In February 2003, I asked the Prime Minister whether he had had talks with President Bush about the fact that "the danger of quickly settling Saddam Hussein could unleash other terrorism as a result of the destabilisation in Iraq".—[ Official Report, 3 February 2003; Vol. 399, c. 31.] In a later debate, I said that the Foreign Secretary needed to "recognise that...

UK Forces (Iraq) (18 Oct 2004)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...the terms of engagement will be sufficiently robust, and I have no doubt that our forces are quite capable of operating outside their current area of operations. The problem is that much of the terrorism that they will take on was inevitable because of the way in which we went into the war. Quite a lot of the problems that we and our American allies are experiencing result from the fact...

Iraq (17 Mar 2003)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...Laden, has quickly focused on the tangible target of Saddam Hussein, and that the irony is that the person who will be most pleased in the next few days is Osama bin Laden because of the risk from terrorism? Is he aware that the way in which the United States has conducted its campaign over the past few months has led to the fracture of the United Nations, the fracture of NATO and the...

Iraq (3 Feb 2003)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...of us who are still concerned about the thought processes surrounding potential action, will he explain to President Bush that the danger of quickly settling Saddam Hussein could unleash other terrorism as a result of the destabilisation in Iraq and the knock-on effect that that could have in Jordan and possibly Turkey? Other threats could arise, as he mentioned in his statement.

Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction (24 Sep 2002)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...by acting pre-emptively against such terrorists." I have to say to my American friends that if they are not careful, the very action that they take in the international arena will provoke far more terrorism than we have yet seen. Incautious action against the evil regime in Iraq could well destabilise neighbouring countries in the middle east and send a message to Muslim and other...

Coalition against International Terrorism (8 Oct 2001)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...what is going on in Afghanistan and to what extent are we, at this stage, capable of defining our objectives? It would be dangerous, although tempting, to try to say that this is a crusade against terrorism. It would be tempting but wrong, because terrorism is defined in many different ways. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter; one alliance formed against a particular sort...

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Animal Experimentation (Intimidation of Staff) (12 Mar 2001)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...Secretary might like to know that only last week, there was another incident in my constituency, directed against individuals working in the pharmaceutical industry. This is intimidation verging on terrorism. Will the right hon. Gentleman join other colleagues in raising the profile of the issue even higher, so that the Public understand that the animal liberation people are thugs and...

Orders of the Day — Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill (6 Mar 2000)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...of clarification. The state has an interest in protecting its citizens from criminals and transactions that are designed to undermine the legal framework. These matters can also be extended to terrorism, where it is important that the Government have powers to intercept on clearly stated grounds. The Bill will need to be evaluated carefully in Committee, but the process of stating clearly...

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

Mr Ian Taylor: ...the Bill. I should like to ask the Home Secretary—if he would take a moment just to listen to me—to help some of us in the House. Why is the urgency of the clauses about international terrorism as great as those about Irish terrorism?

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

Mr Ian Taylor: ...is that, to make a decision on the business of the House motion, I need to get some guidance from the Government on whether there was equal urgency in introducing clauses relating to international terrorism. I do not wish to debate those clauses. There have been some disturbing events in the world during August relating to such international terrorism. It is also clear that, to achieve...

Information Society (11 Jul 1997)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...the problems that he will face. Governments need from time to time, subject to the laws of the country, to keep an eye on material that might be passed across the digital networks connected with terrorism, drugs or crime in general. Governments must balance their need to do that against the desire for open speech and freedom of communication. That is very much part of the debate in the...

Chemical Weapons (24 Apr 1995)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...continue to make certain agents, of which sarin is an example, from chemicals which, because of their wide commercial applications, fall outside the convention's controls. Defence against chemical terrorism depends on good intelligence, vigilance and public support, as does defence against other forms of terrorism. The police and other agencies have served us well, but my right hon. and...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (26 Feb 1991)

Mr Ian Taylor: This House has been powerfully united against the terrorism practised by Saddam Hussein in Kuwait. Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is important that the House is also united against the evil acts of terrorism in this country and that it supports all measures, including the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989? Will he have a word with the Leader of the Opposition to...

Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Bill (Allocation of Time) (23 Jan 1989)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...of the House to bring forward the motion. The problem is not that any member of the Committee is irresponsible. I am sure that Opposition Members are upright and clear about the need to combat terrorism. Some, at least, of their remarks are concise, and no doubt their approach to the legislation is responsible. I am sure that they share the views of a former Home Secretary, the right hon....

Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Bill (Allocation of Time) (23 Jan 1989)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...for Walsall, South said was necessary—for a proper scrutiny in Committee, on Report and on Third Reading. People in the United Kingdom do not want the police to be handicapped in fighting terrorism. They do not want terrorist organisations to be free to operate. The Government cannot afford to wait for terrorist crime to be committed before bringing in legislation. I do not think...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Chinese Foreign Minister (3 Feb 1988)

Mr Ian Taylor: ...the question whether Chinese relations with South Korea can be put on a more positive footing, given the evidence which appears to show that North Korea has been practising institutionalised terrorism?
