Terrorism Bill

: The hon. Gentleman’s argument is based on the premise that the extra time is required solely for questioning, but if he looks at the Bill he will see that the further detention of a suspect may be deemed necessary"““to obtain relevant evidence whether by questioning him or otherwise””." This is not just about questioning; it is also about giving the police time to find evidence elsewhere. The hon. Gentleman should stop basing his argument solely on the questioning element.
