Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

Will my right hon. Friend let me finish the point? It is a matter of great disagreement between us. Only if there is proper gisting—sufficient gisting to give the controlee the substance of the case they have to answer—can the case be compliant with article 6. Now we know, through the new process of light-touch control orders, that the Government are saying that article 6 does not apply. We say it does. The High Court has already said it does. The matter is going to the Court of Appeal, and no doubt all the way up to the Supreme Court and Strasbourg. They will all say the same thing, it will come down again and we shall be back where we started.
