Orders of the Day — Terrorism Bill — [1st Allotted Day]: Clause 1 — Encouragement of Terrorism (2 Nov 2005)

Boris Johnson: ...'s proceedings. I may have been inconspicuous. If what Cherie Blair said would not be criminalised under clause 1, will the Minister provide a single, concrete example of indirect incitement to terrorism that would be criminalised and that would not be caught by existing statute?

Orders of the Day — Prevention of Terrorism Bill (23 Feb 2005)

Mr Boris Johnson: ...any information demanded of him— in other words, the power to incarcerate that person.

Orders of the Day — Prevention of Terrorism Bill (23 Feb 2005)

Mr Boris Johnson: ...basic right is a step that has been taken very few times in our history. It was taken in 1793, when William Pitt removed it following the execution of the King of France and in the revolutionary terror that swept Europe, and it was removed in 1817, opportunistically, by Lord Liverpool.

Mr Boris Johnson: ...Labour Members by my hon. Friend, and I wish to respond to a point that was raised by the hon. Member for Birmingham, Hall Green.
