Terrorism Bill

The hon. Gentleman probably was not here for yesterday’s debate, but the Liberal Democrat argument was that in Committee it would be possible to make the legislation into a satisfactory Bill. It is still possible, in my view, to make this Bill satisfactory. It is still possible to change the definitions, and it is still possible to make changes to the 90-day rule. Yet the Liberal Democrats are saying ““Throw out the Bill.”” I think that that is the wrong position to adopt, and it is certainly not the position that my hon. Friends and I will adopt.
