Counter-Terrorism Bill

I hope that my hon. Friend's side of the pendulum gets a bit more airtime. He rightly says that we have worked very hard, as I have outlined, to build a consensus around measures in the Bill, and I believe that we have succeeded in doing that in the vast majority of those areas. He is right, because in the end it is the Government's responsibility, and mine as Home Secretary, to take advice—[Interruption.] It is also Parliament's responsibility. We must take seriously the threat from terrorism and respond to the calls of those whom we task with protecting us from it to provide them with the tools that they need.
