Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 December 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill.

My right hon. Friend talked about mistakes. Going further back, would it not be wise to remember some of the measures taken against IRA terrorism? Like everyone else, I opposed such terrorism from the very beginning; it had no justification. However, some of those measures, such as internment, were counter-productive and played right into the hands of the IRA. Should we not take that sort of thing into account?
