Terrorism (Detention and Human Rights)

I did, and I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman’s comments. I cannot be sure, but the review might re-examine the legal framework, more recent judgments, Lord Carlile’s comments about control orders, and issues surrounding threshold, which, to be frank, I do not want to delve into for fear of being giggled at by the lawyers. In substance, the Government’s responses to both reports said that they thought the threshold argument had substance in some terrorist cases, but not in all. The contradiction to which some have alluded, about their saying that in one but not in the other, does not exist.
