Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill

Proceeding contribution from Diana Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 January 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill.

No doubt the Minister will be able to confirm that. My understanding is that the level of information and intelligence given to the board will mean that its members will have to undergo appropriate vetting to make sure that they are suitable. Perhaps the Minister will comment on that.

The amendments would give the board a proper remit, with members appointed on merit, procedures for agreeing a work plan and access to the relevant information. Finally, amendment 2 would give the board a name that matches the role that we envisage for it—the counter terrorism oversight panel.
