Prevention of Terrorism Act

Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 February 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prevention of Terrorism Act.
I do not have figures on the first question. The hon. Gentleman’s third question contradicts his second, by which I mean that the role of the MOU and how it operates and how effective the MOU is in returning people to countries from which they have come depends entirely on the court judgment of the integrity of the MOU process. His two questions are related. I cannot require a court to agree with my decision purely because an MOU is in place. However, in a case that I make to a court, I can point to or conclude an MOU and try to operate in accordance with it. I cannot prejudge how a court will decide to interpret a particular MOU.
