Public Bill Committee: Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords]: Clause 51 (16 Jun 2009)

David Anderson: ...that. One of the great things is that that no longer happens. However, even with those things in place, there was clearly an easily accessible border, particularly for those who committed acts of terrorism. People were going backwards and forwards across the border with relative ease, even under those circumstances. For the last four years, until January, I served on the Northern Ireland...

Orders of the Day: Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill (13 Dec 2006)

David Anderson: ...form of people trafficking, particularly for sex, is increasing in Northern Ireland. These are some of the issues confronting the police and the legal system there. Behind it all is the worry that terror, and the history and impact of terror, are still there. That must be borne in mind as we consider how to take forward the so-called normalisation process. Last week the Committee had a...

Orders of the Day: Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Bill (21 Nov 2006)

David Anderson: ..., in Northern Ireland and beyond who have refused to accept the rule of the gun over the rule of law. We should praise and congratulate those people. It is a good day for those who have said that terrorism will never ever succeed. Above all, it could be a good day for the great people of Northern Ireland—if we have the bottle to get this right.

David Anderson: ...this week is anything more than a tentative start. Colleagues, both those in this Chamber and others in Northern Ireland, have got together to move forward, I hope, but we cannot move forward on terrorism, the peace process or anything else unless we are clear about three things. In our democratic society, there is no room for terrorists, criminals or wreckers. We do not want any of those...

Northern Ireland Bill (26 Apr 2006)

David Anderson: ...Provisional IRA is committed to a peaceful path and is trying to stop its followers engaging in criminal activity. Let me make it clear: the leadership must realise that those involved in crime and terrorism are not welcome in our democratic institutions, and it must do everything in its power to ensure that they do not become involved in that way. Let us also move away from the debate...

Opposition Parties (Financial Assistance) (8 Feb 2006)

David Anderson: ...improved, and if we do not falter, things can get better. That did not happen by chance. It happened because people were prepared to take risks for peace. John Major took risks for peace by meeting terrorists while they were publicly banned. Mo Mowlam took risks for peace by going into the Maze prison to face those who had been at the forefront of the terror campaign. Our Prime Minister...

Orders of the Day — Terrorism Bill (10 Nov 2005)

David Anderson: ...servants and the organisations that represent them when we are dealing with health and education reforms. No one is unaware of the importance of this legislation. Despite the long, sad history of terrorism that these islands have been subjected to over the past 35 years, we face a situation that, for many reasons that have been well rehearsed in this Chamber over the past few days, is...

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Counter-terrorism (7 Nov 2005)

David Anderson: Part of the response in countering terrorism is the introduction of identity cards. Will the Home Secretary comment on this weekend's London School of Economics report, which states that the cost of ID cards will rocket even higher than the figure predicted before the recess?
