Counter-Terrorism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Counter-Terrorism Bill.
My hon. and learned Friend has been a consistent opponent of any attempt to introduce a counter-terrorism Bill, and that has attracted some strange bedfellows. He has long experience in this place, so will he say what judicial review or parliamentary scrutiny took place when miners were locked up in their houses during the miners' strike, as a result of the emergency legislation introduced by the then Conservative Government? People could not leave their houses. What parliamentary scrutiny was there then?
