Parliamentary Standards Bill: Committee (2nd Day) (16 Jul 2009)

Lord Tyler: ...introduced at speed in response to some form of emergency to check the extent to which a review has or has not proved as satisfactory as a sunset clause. My attention was drawn to the Prevention of Terrorism Bill—now an Act—which was debated at length in the other place on 10 March 2005. I take seriously the comments made by Mr Dominic Grieve on that occasion. I must have been...

Business of the House (28 Oct 2004)

Mr Paul Tyler: .... Surely that undermines the UK Government's position in relation to both the presidency of the Union and the chairmanship of G8. Emissions are a global threat, which some think more important than terrorism. May I draw the Leader of the House's attention to early-day motion 1839 and ask for a proper statement from the Secretary of State in the House? [That this House condemns the decision...

Business of the House (25 Mar 2004)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...lost from Government Departments in the past 12 months. Shockingly, the Ministry of Defence seems to have lost 3,007 passes in just 12 months. It scarcely gives us confidence in its response to terrorism. Will the Leader of the House make it clear that that is much more important than the problem that could be identified as people climbing over the railings into this building? Will he lay...

Sittings of the House (20 Nov 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...that if any urgent questions are tabled on Monday or Tuesday, they may be taken. I hope that the Leader of the House will tell us that if important matters were to arise over the weekend, such as terrorism issues, the appropriate Secretary of State would make a statement to the House. Nothing in the motion makes that impossible, so I hope that it will happen.

Business of the House (11 Sep 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: We obviously associate ourselves with comments on the assassination of the Swedish Foreign Minister and the anniversary of the 11 September terrorism attacks. There is a precedent for handling Intelligence and Security Committee reports, set by the report on the Bali terrorist bombing. In that case, the Foreign Secretary made an immediate statement in the House, followed by an hour's...

Business of the House (8 May 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...served their country well.] I hope that the right hon. Gentleman has seen a large report in the Evening Standard with the headline, "New fears over safety of 'toxic' vaccines against germ warfare terror attack". As a Minister who once had responsibility for such matters, does he agree that we owe it to the veterans who have served this country well to treat them at least as responsibly and...

Adjournment (Easter) (3 Apr 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...from the Inside", but for giving us some very clear guidance about the issues that we need to address. I was particularly struck by the hon. Gentleman's reference to the need for our response to terrorism to be intelligence led. That is a much wider issue than that of what happens in Iraq over the next few weeks, because it will affect the next few years. Indeed, colleagues might have...

Estimates Day — [2nd Allotted Day] — Supplementary Estimates, 2002–2003 — Foreign and Commonwealth Office — War Against Terrorism (11 Mar 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...as I was by the clear definition given by the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke) during our debate on Iraq of the dangers of creating an even more fertile atmosphere for terrorism by a pre-emptive strike from the United States, possibly supported by the United Kingdom? Terrorism and Iraq are two connected yet separate issues.

Fireworks Bill (28 Feb 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...and the simple power of the explosives that are now used, even for private displays. Another problem that I wish to highlight is that of confusion. At a time when we are all alert to the dangers of terrorism, there is a particular reason for ensuring that regulations are robust. I can recall sitting in the Members' Tearoom just a few days after 11 September. Suddenly, there was an...

Adjournment (Christmas) (19 Dec 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...which Members on both sides of the House dealt with international as well as local issues. It was interesting to hear the hon. Member for Bournemouth, East (Mr. Atkinson) talk about the causes of terrorism, while later the hon. Member for Islington, North (Jeremy Corbyn) referred, very properly, to the serious situation in the middle east. It is important at this time of year, when we...

Adjournment (Christmas) (19 Dec 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...it was felt that not enough preparation had gone into the clauses on blasphemy. They were inserted at the last minute and had nothing to do with the emergency situation dealt with by the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001. Those provisions were rejected because they were not good enough. That is what this whole place is about—scrutiny of legislation. If the hon. and learned...

Business of the House (13 Dec 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...hon. Gentleman give an undertaking that he will look carefully at the way in which the proposals that he has so properly set out in this discussion paper apply to our recent discussions on the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill? We take very seriously his statement that good security makes for good government. Is he satisfied that that has happened on this occasion? Given the Home...

Orders of the Day — Business of the House (5 Dec 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...I referred to any matters discussed in private session. As was said last night, I do not believe that any Member of this House or the other place is not committed to effective measures to deal with terrorism. There was some suggestion, or spin, that anyone who resisted the business motion was somehow against the emergency measures needed to deal with terrorism. That is a canard, and it is...

Orders of the Day — Business of the House (5 Dec 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...to go to the European summit at Laeken in Belgium. He wants to take in his back pocket a Christmas present from the Houses of Parliament and say, "Look what a good boy am I. I am getting tough on terrorism. I have a derogation from my Parliament on the European convention of human rights. Why don't you?" That is what it is all about. It is the Prime Minister's imperative, for political...

Business of the House (4 Dec 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: Is it not precisely that function of Parliament that we are defending against terrorism? That is the irony of this dreadful situation.

Business of the House (29 Nov 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...Finally, may I ask the Leader of the House to give an undertaking that if, as seems likely, the Lords messages on Wednesday 12 December contain some extremely important views from them on the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill, not least from his Labour colleagues in the other place, we will be able to give them precedence over the debate on the international situation? That latter...

Human Rights (Joint Committee) (15 Nov 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: .... It took evidence from the Home Secretary yesterday, and I understand from the hon. Lady's comments that before our debates in the Chamber on Monday, it will produce a report on the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill and the derogation from the Human Rights Act 1998. Such matters could not be more important. This is therefore an extraordinary moment effectively to propose that we...

Business of the House (15 Nov 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...Kyoto protocol should take place? Does he intend that there should be a debate in the House before or after it takes place? Thirdly, I certainly recognise the importance of the legislation on anti-terrorism, crime and security that is coming before the House next week and the week after. Will he demonstrate how seriously the Government take concerns about that legislation? The Bill has 125...
