Terrorism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lynne Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Terrorism Bill.
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that this House cannot abdicate its responsibility to judicial oversight, because sometimes the judiciary gets it wrong? I think of the case of the Birmingham Six and Lord Denning’s comments about the ““appalling vista””, which led him to ignore overwhelming evidence that those men were innocent and to keep them incarcerated for many years longer.
