He was stopped taking photographs outside the Chimes shopping centre by another PCSO, who ran a police check over the radio and handed Mr. Lee a leaflet on terrorism. Mr. Lee said: "I have just come out of the Royal Air Force after serving 19 years and to be questioned in public for doing nothing wrong left me extremely upset." I think we would all...

Photography (Public Places) (1 Apr 2009)

John Randall: ...that such action was taken against the hon. Gentleman. We had bombs in Uxbridge during the IRA problems, as well as a variety of terrorist incidents, so I am acutely aware of the potential for terrorism, particularly in shopping centres such as the Chimes shopping centre in my constituency. We have to look out for such things, but common sense seems to have escaped police...

Photography (Public Places) (1 Apr 2009)

John Randall: ...I recognise that there is a serious terrorist threat, and that point leads me to Street View.

Aviation (South-East) (22 Jun 2005)

John Randall: ..., as we know and as the Prime Minister has acknowledged, is the most pressing environmental issue facing our world today. One of the Government's advisers said that it is more threatening than terrorism. We should all recognise that, although climate change is not as immediate, which is one of the problems; we do not see it face to face, although funnily enough increasingly on our...

Specialist Health Services (West London) (25 May 2004)

Mr John Randall: ...London, but not at the expense of Harefield. Over the last four years the need has grown to retain specialist hospitals outside the capital. They are far less likely to be disrupted by threats of terrorism and transport problems. Any building development, NHS or not, is governed by whether it is practical, affordable and good value for money. Paddington health campus does not meet any of...

Kosovo (4 May 2004)

Mr John Randall: ...are trying to address the serious problems and the injustices that affect that poor, blighted, sad part of the Balkans.

While we are on the subject of mistakes, the Central...

Minorities (Former Yugoslavia) (17 Jun 2003)

Mr John Randall: ...commitment that certain parties were making. Unfortunately, it is not one ethnic group that is causing problems, as is the case in a lot of other areas too. In the pre- 11 September world the word "terrorism" probably did not have quite the same connotations as it does now—there was no war on terrorism—yet that was how Lord Robertson described much of the activities of some...

Fire Services Bill (8 May 2003)

Mr John Randall: ...constituency and that of the hon. Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell). That young man was on the books of a company next door to his family's shop in Uxbridge. With all the potential terrorism in our area, we are very much aware of increased risks. This is not the time to look at reducing the fire services; it is a time to consolidate and, if necessary, increase them. I shall...

Yugoslavia (6 Dec 2001)
