Question accordingly agreed to. Mr. Speaker then proceeded to put the remaining Question required to be put at that hour. Lords amendment: No. 33 10 Mar 2005 NO
I think that we have narrowed the issue to two points. Does my right hon. Friend accept that a criminal court convicted that individual and that the legislation that we are passing will allow people to be restricted or detained on the basis of hearsay evidence through the security services? The defendant will know nothing about it; nor will the public, and therein lies the road to miscarriages of ... 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendments Nos. 27, 31 and 32 disagreed to. 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Mr. Deputy Speaker then proceeded to put the remaining Questions required to be put at that hour. Lords reasons: 27F, 31D and 32E. Motion made, and Question put, That this House insists on its disagreement with the Lords in their amendments Nos. 27, 31, and 32 and on its amendments Nos. 27C and 27D in lieu, does not insist on its amendment No. 32D and proposes amend... 10 Mar 2005 NO
No. This House has resolved its opinion; the question is whether it will be overturned in another place by those who have not been elected. Interventions sometimes read well in Hansard , and sometimes they do not. I think that the hon. Gentleman will find that that one does not. However, I am glad that he got to his feet, as he has just justified the fact that the previous Conservative Government ... 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I just want to make it clear that when the Prime Minister was responding— [Interruption.] Order. I said earlier that we are debating a very serious matter. I have already heard two points of order from the Opposition side of the House— [Interruption.] Order. The Minister wishes to make a point of order and must be heard. Than... 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The Home Secretary invited us to read the passage from Hansard that led to the previous exchanges. This is what the Prime Minister said— [Interruption.] Order. [Interruption.] Order. I will hear this point of order. The Prime Minister said: "I am afraid that we are not prepared to accept either the amendment on the sunset cla... 10 Mar 2005 NO
I merely say to the Home Secretary that for him to pray in aid the security services, and for it then to be proved that the security services have not asked for one of the key things that he implied they had asked for, and that the Prime Minister said they had asked for, is to remove the trust of this House. I have in front of me the Hansard report of the references that are being discussed. The P... 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 33D disagreed to. 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendments Nos. 27B, 31B and 32B disagreed to. 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Mr. Deputy Speaker then proceeded to put the remaining Questions required to be put at that hour. Lords amendments: 27B, 31B and 32B 10 Mar 2005 NO
The position on the sunset clause is the biggest absurdity of all. We have a Labour peer—Baroness Hayman, previously a Member of this House—putting forward the eminently sensible suggestion of a sunset clause, to come into effect after a year, for this legislation, which is acknowledged on all sides to be temporary, emergency and not entirely well considered. That is not acceptable. To say that to... 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: (b), in line 5, leave out from "effect" to end.—[Mr. Lidington.] 10 Mar 2005 NO
Does the Secretary of State agree that Sinn Fein should take note of the fact that those who have sought and sustained a constructive dialogue nevertheless find themselves with no alternative but to support the sanctions? That is a consequence of the strains that the IRA's actions have now placed on the process. Sinn Fein really must reflect—I am sure that it will—on our debate and start visibly t... 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment: No. 9 9 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment, as amended, agreed to. 9 Mar 2005 NO
Far more important than that almost but not quite arcane point about the standard of proof is the condition that the suspect must have the best opportunity to answer the case against him. I have been greatly cheered by the attitude of my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary to reviewing the system of special advocates. Will my hon. and learned Friend give way? No, I do not have time and others wan... 9 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment disagreed to. 9 Mar 2005 NO
I cannot give way to the right hon. Gentleman. I will just complete my five minutes before I resume my place. I realise that he is on the side of the angels but his particular angel is being too naive if he thinks that we are half way near to getting the sort of terrorism legislation that the House should approve, in any circumstances, once it is given the proper time to debate it. I regret that I... 9 Mar 2005 NO
Division 112 2 Mar 2005 NO
The Minister is guilty of many sins, but when she was a Treasury Minister she was the first person to see to it that there were no longer fibs on death certificates. She ensured that the cause of death was properly recorded. Previously, pneumonia and septicaemia might be put down as the cause of death, when the truth was that the death was MRSA-related. My hon. Friend remedied that. However, now t... 2 Mar 2005 AYE
The Tories proposals are fool's gold. There is no money to give away to pensioners in council discounts. The Tories £35 billion of cuts means full spread council tax and an increase for council tax for all, not just pensioners. Even if memories among those pensioners were not very strong, however, they would know about the track record of Tory councils and about the average council tax, which is £... 2 Mar 2005 NO

Question accordingly agreed to. Bill accordingly read a Second time. Motion made, and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 83(A) , 23 Feb 2005 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Main Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 62 (Amendment on Second or Third Reading) :— 23 Feb 2005 NO
As to the contribution of the hon. Member for Henley (Mr. Johnson) , does he accept that there is a serious threat, which I thought was fairly common ground? Does he accept that some people cannot be prosecuted through a conventional legal system? Does he accept that detention in prison under part 4 is not sustainable in the light of the Law Lords' judgment? Frankly, in those circumstances, what w... 23 Feb 2005 AYE

Question accordingly negatived. Main Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 62 (Amendment on second or third reading) 9 Feb 2005 AYE
What, alas, we have heard today in too many speeches from the main Opposition party is language to appease UKIP and not promote Britain. I would say to the Conservative party, appeasement and isolation is never the way forward. Every other mainstream Conservative party in Europe understands the need to support this new treaty. I have to say, on the day after President Bush sends his Secretary of S... 9 Feb 2005 NO
My hon. and learned Friend the Member for Redcar (Vera Baird) again rightly emphasised that prosecutions are our preferred route. She said that the Conservative Opposition would need a fall-back position. We have all been worried by the polarisation of the Conservatives, who said simply that we should either proceed through trial and prosecution or release with no controls. That is not a tenable p... 8 Feb 2005 AYE
