Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Fundamental Savings Review (13 Jul 2006)

David Tredinnick: ...the House deserves a proper statement. And why is it so at variance with his press release of 19 July 2005, which promised a thorough review of demographic change, innovation, global issues and terrorism? What has happened to his pledge to look at spending over 10 years? If we just look at health spending, 73 per cent. has gone on increased costs. When will Government get a grip of these...

Royal Assent: Intelligence and Security Committee (Annual Report) (11 Jul 2006)

David Tredinnick: ...about certain aspects of the report, including its structure. If I have time, I also want to talk about the costs involved. I should perhaps declare an interest.

Public Bill Committee: Proceeds of Crime Bill: Clause 158 - Making of order (11 Dec 2001)

In Northern Ireland, criminality tends to be of a terrorist nature, and if somebody transgresses against an organised criminal group, they might not merely get thumped; their kneecaps might get blown off, their house might get burnt down, or they might get murdered or tortured—a fate that befell a brother officer in my regiment. In Northern...

Mr David Tredinnick: ...to give the Bill greater force by adding the idea of a terrorist lifestyle to that of a criminal lifestyle.

Coalition against International Terrorism (16 Oct 2001)

The Government should try to persuade us to maintain our life styles wherever possible....
