Terrorism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Tebbit (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Terrorism Bill.
My Lords, what gives me some unease is that not only may the facts be brought into play in the decision of the Attorney or the DPP, but the context of the facts; for example, there might be further negotiations going on with a particular terrorist group that would decide whether a prosecution was thought to be appropriate. I know that is of concern to people such as the noble Lord, Lord Ahmed. The noble Baroness, Lady Williams, said it might appear that negotiations with one group caused it to be immune to prosecution, whatever the law said, while another group was prosecuted.
