Counter-Terrorism Bill (Programme) (No. 2)

I am sorry to prevent others from contributing, but I am mindful of the time. [Interruption.] The programme motion was agreed by Government and Opposition Front Benchers, so take it up with them and get real. Some germane and relevant issues have been raised. There have been some interesting little treatises, including the previous contribution by my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, North (Jeremy Corbyn), but they do not bear much relation to the substance of the Bill. Nobody, apart from my hon. Friend the Member for Blackpool, North and Fleetwood (Mrs. Humble), has answered the question of what to do about families who are currently stuck in limbo and cannot achieve resolution and closure at an inquest into the death of a loved one because of the blockage around the use of sensitive material and, potentially, intercept evidence—I will address the point raised by the right hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Mr. Howard) in a moment. If this system, or a similar system, does not prevail, what will happen to families involved in such rare cases? The answer is that they will stay in limbo; the answer is that they will stay in abeyance and nothing will be done for them.
