Peter Bone: The acting Prime Minister was quite right when she said it would be a contempt of Parliament for hon.

Member's phone has been tapped by the Government since 1997?

Peter Bone: Our servicemen and women in Afghanistan do an extraordinary job, not only in fighting terrorism but in providing humanitarian aid to civilians. I am sure that the Secretary of State will join me in praising them for their work. However, will he give his frank assessment of whether our European counterparts are pulling their weight?

Point of Order: Counter-Terrorism Bill (Programme) (No. 2) (10 Jun 2008) has video

Peter Bone: On April Fool's day, the programme motion for the Counter-Terrorism Bill was published. Of course, we had no opportunity to debate it at that stage because it had to be voted on without debate, so this is our only chance to speak on the programme motion.

Peter Bone: ...opt out of the Commonwealth rather a long time ago. It is reasonable to exclude Americans. I was worried because the hon.

Last summer, Parliament did not sit for 76 days, despite the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the situation in the middle east, the collapse of the immigration system, law and order issues, terrorism and the cuts in the health service.

Peter Bone: ...that, if they were accepted without change, would threaten the very civil liberties that every Briton expects. I shall begin by making it clear that I believe that there is no excuse for terrorism. Terrorism is evil. Terrorists take the lives of innocent men, women and children. Terrorists maim and injure innocent men, women and children. There must never be any excuse for them and, when...

Peter Bone: ...trying to say that there are better ways to approach the issue than to attack the freedom of every person in this country to say what they feel. I do not understand how banning the glorification of terrorism will prevent terrorism. It plays into the hands of the people who want to do such things. That is an Alice-in-Wonderland approach—completely the wrong way round. The provisions...

Child Support Agency (26 Oct 2005)

Peter Bone: ...that any party political points will be made today—the focus will be on genuine concerns. I believe that there would be more Members present if it were not for the fact that the debate on the Terrorism Bill clashes with this debate.
