- Business of the House (19 Jun 2008) has video
George Young: If, as seems inevitable, the other place amends the Government's Counter-Terrorism Bill, can the right hon. and learned Lady say when the Bill will return to this House? Will she guarantee that there will be adequate time to debate any amendments, and can she say whether the Treasury will be able to afford another Government win?
- House of Lords Reform (10 Jan 2002)
Sir George Young: ...nor do I think that they will until its composition is changed. When the Government lose, it is just like old times: more threats and abuse. The Lords have recently defeated the Government on anti-terrorism legislation, and quite rightly so. The Government must accept the legitimacy of criticism from an effective second Chamber, and we need a House with more authority than the present one,...

Sir George Young: ...'s role in the world, and the demands on our armed forces, are changing. We have had to redefine our basic assumptions about security. There is no longer an enemy; there are only enemies—terrorism, dictatorships and regional instability, threatening wider destabilisation. There are, however, consistent themes in response. Those themes are the need to maintain a first-rate,...

Sir George Young: ...ends in stabbing and, Death road crossing plea". Page 6 is a letter page and page 7 is devoted almost exclusively to, Two injured as blast rocks hut". On page 16 we read MP joins fight against bus terror and on page 17, Grim toll brings new safety plea and, Youth who stole repays in time".

- Orders of the Day — Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill (13 Feb 1976)
Sir George Young: ...side of the House, are interested in the way in which the Bill may increase the conviction of rapists. A few months ago we all saw how, in the city of Cambridge, one lone rapist could strike terror into the hearts of all women, of whatever age, and how it completely changed the life-style of every woman living in that city. The man has been convicted since, but might he not have been found...
