[Hywel Williams in the Chair] — Retained Firefighters (11 Feb 2009)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...of the regulations, but as a result of the vote by the European Parliament on 17 December, we risk damaging that vital lifeline. In the current political climate, which is overshadowed by terrorism, it seems perverse that we are putting vital security and safety services under threat. Unfortunately, it is not only in the specific case of firefighters that the proposals will have an...

Orders of the Day: Counter-Terrorism Bill (1 Apr 2008) has video

Jonathan Djanogly: ...not provide any evidence then, and they have not provided any now. They would be better advised to concentrate on keeping convicted terrorists locked up. Instead, we hear that two men convicted of terrorism, who present a real danger to the security of our country, have been let out under the Government's early-release scheme. In dealing with sentences for offences with a terrorist...

Opposition Day — [17th allotted day]: Alleged Overseas Corruption (16 Jul 2007) has video

Jonathan Djanogly: ...on the common-law offence of bribery and a range of add-on statutory offences. The scope of United Kingdom bribery offences was extended to bribes offered outside the United Kingdom by part 12 of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001. However, as it seems to apply only to United Kingdom companies and not to foreign subsidiaries of such companies, its worth is limited. Proposals...

Opposition Day — [17th allotted day]: Alleged Overseas Corruption (16 Jul 2007) has video

Jonathan Djanogly: ..., as opposed to its being forced to do so by the then Attorney-General. Lord Goldsmith stated that all relevant agencies were clear about the importance of UK-Saudi relations in the fight against terrorism. He said that if that co-operation were lost, there would potentially be damage to UK national security. Some have argued that the SFO was told to stop the investigation because another...

Orders of the Day: New Clause 16 — Names and addresses of members of companies: company application (18 Oct 2006)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...companies affected by the problem are far from large companies such as GSK. They are usually small family businesses for which a civil injunction costing thousands of pounds against illegality or terror would often be unaffordable. More to the point, such companies are saying, "Is it not for the Government to defend us against terrorist activity, rather than our having to pay for an...

Public Bill Committee: Company Law Reform Bill [Lords]: Clause 115 (27 Jun 2006)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...in this area. I appreciate that the Minister recognised our input and review of previous legislation, such as the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, and  other aspects of economic terrorism. The hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme accused us of playing fast and loose with company law. I can only say that we believe that it was important to raise those issues in Committee...

Public Bill Committee: Company Law Reform Bill [Lords]: Clause 115 (22 Jun 2006)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...return date need to be filed annually with the annual return. The Companies House fiche, therefore, may not be accurate as at any other given moment, but it is certainly adequate for conducting a terror campaign against shareholders. In Committee in the House of Lords, the Government said that they would consider introducing regulations to change that requirement. Why not simply add those...

Public Bill Committee: Company Law Reform Bill [Lords]: Clause 115 (22 Jun 2006)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...about this topic. No one has given me an accurate assessment of the number of extremist protestors, but we may be talking of little more than 100 or so who have crossed the line into out-and-out terrorism. The important breakthrough in dealing with these people came about via the civil law, rather than the criminal law, when Huntingdon Life Sciences managed to secure a civil injunction...

Public Bill Committee: Violent Crime Reduction Bill: Clause 30 - Manufacture, import and sale of realistic imitation firearms (25 Oct 2005)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...new clause would restrict the company’s ability to use blank firing handguns and/or soft fire air weapons during its hostile environment training courses for media personnel and its specialist counter-terrorism training courses. Its use of such weapons is restricted to military training areas, the use of which is licensed on each occasion through appropriate Ministry of Defence...

Public Bill Committee: Violent Crime Reduction Bill: Clause 26 - Age limits for purchase etc. of air weapons (20 Oct 2005)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...want to assess their impact. Those are valid points. The small number of existing crimes that extend to foreigners overseas are all very serious crimes that are international in character, such as terrorism and hijacking, or which contravene international law, such as piracy and breaching the Geneva conventions on the treatment of prisoners of war. The offences in the new clause are not of...

Public Bill Committee: Inquiries Bill [Lords]: Clause 4 - Appointment of inquiry panel (22 Mar 2005)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...of circumstances. It seems extraordinary how the Government continue to demand more ministerial intervention—a trend that was exemplified two weeks ago during discussion of the Prevention of Terrorism Bill. Each time, such action underlines how rarely and exceptionally—if ever—certain powers will be exercised. However, any such assurances would frankly not suffice. For so...

Orders of the Day — Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill — [1st Allotted Day]: New Clause 6 — Interception of communications (7 Feb 2005)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...concepts in the new clauses, which are both novel and complicated. None the less, my hon. Friends and I welcome the Government's decision to table the additional measures to combat animal rights terrorism. They seem finally to have realised the need to tackle a disturbing trend in the activities of animal rights terrorists. I know from my constituency and elsewhere that the last few years...

Public Bill Committee: Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill: Clause 116 - Harassment intended to deter lawful activities (20 Jan 2005)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...positive, but during the lunch break my hon. Friend the Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve) and I attended Solicitor-General's Question Time. The Solicitor-General was asked whether animal rights terrorism was being prosecuted and my hon. Friend pressed the question whether the special prosecutors promised nearly a year ago had been provided. The Solicitor-General's response was that the...

Public Bill Committee: Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill: Clause 116 - Harassment intended to deter lawful activities (20 Jan 2005)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...a terrorist organisation. I would be interested to hear whether the Government have considered proscribing organisations such as the Animal Liberation Front or Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty under the terrorism laws. No one has yet given me an accurate assessment of the number of extreme protesters, although the number of incidents involved makes it likely that there are at least a few...

Public Bill Committee: Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill: New Clause 12 - Interception of communications (No. 4) (18 Jan 2005)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...be included in the Bill? The ''One Step Ahead'' White Paper of March 2004 expected the review to be complete by June 2004, and it was referred to by the then Home Secretary as part of his series of anti-terrorism legislation in November 2004. The Home Office itself said, in its summary of responses to the same White Paper, that most respondents were supportive of the measure. Even Liberty...

EU Justice and Home Affairs (14 Oct 2004)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...the United Kingdom and how their own systems are respected. This agenda will end that. A prime example of a crime in one country that may be entirely overlooked in another is that of animal rights terrorism, which is prevalent in my constituency. Public opinion on that has changed massively in this country over a very short space of time, yet many other member states have no concept of...

EU Justice and Home Affairs (14 Oct 2004)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: .... The attainment of security throughout the member states of the Union underpins the achievement of freedom and justice. As the Minister said, the biggest threat to that in recent years has been terrorism, so the prospect of increased co-operation between law enforcement agencies of all member states is to be welcomed. We do not believe, however, that there is justification for extending...

Crown Prosecution Service (London) (8 Jun 2004)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...she considered the human rights implications of CPS lawyers who are employed by the state acting as part-time judges? Another problem is that in some types of crime, such as organised crime or animal rights terrorism, specialist teams of defence solicitors and counsel have been going around the country and outgunning local non- experienced CPS lawyers. Will the Solicitor-General elaborate...

Written Answers — Home Department: Animal Rights Protesters (20 May 2004)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what plans there are to make (a) harassment, (b) intimidation and (c) terrorism against companies, or conspiracy to carry out these acts, specific offences; (2) what plans there are to change the law relating to harassment, with particular reference to harassment by animal rights protesters.

Internet (Extreme Images) (18 May 2004)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...ranges of extreme images, I shall briefly cover child pornography, obscene publications and websites that incite others to commit crimes that sometimes go beyond pornography towards outright terrorism. Much work has gone into tackling child pornography on the internet through projects such as Operation Ore, and there have been results. The percentage of sites hosted in the UK that the...
