Public Bill Committee: Northern Ireland (Offences) Bill: Clause 1 - Offences to which the Act applies (6 Dec 2005)

Huw Irranca-Davies: Perhaps I was not quite specific enough previously about cross-referencing clause 1 to clause 19, on interpretation of the Bill. The latter   clause states clearly that “terrorism” has the same meaning as in the Terrorism Act 2000. That seems quite clear.

Public Bill Committee: Northern Ireland (Offences) Bill: Clause 1 - Offences to which the Act applies (6 Dec 2005)

Huw Irranca-Davies: I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. I am sure that the hon. Member for Montgomeryshire did not intend in any way to mislead regarding the Bill, where it states, “in connection with terrorism and the affairs of Northern Ireland”.

The disengagement from Gaza gave us a historic opportunity. I don't mean to miss it." I am sure that the Minister already has the endless press cuttings, some of them cynical and...

Mr Huw Irranca-Davies: ...Leader of the Opposition for what he said on 19 March this year: "Whatever my disagreements with Tony Blair, any government that I lead will not flinch in its determination to win the War against Terror, wherever it has to be fought."

Mr Huw Irranca-Davies: ...of NATO, European reaction forces and United Kingdom troops. I welcome the work that the Defence Committee has done on the strategic defence review and the new chapter, in particular the focus on terrorism. That work echoes a new realisation within the UN.

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill [Lords] (10 Feb 2003)

Mr Huw Irranca-Davies: ...how painful that path is to follow, but we also see with increasing clarity that it is the right path. This Bill is part of that path, which leads away from the rule of the past and the rule of terror towards social, economic and political stability.
