Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

No, because the Home Secretary needs time to wind up the debate. In the previous debate, we were told about the comments of chief constables. I do not know the collective noun for chief constables, but they were all lined up in support of 28 days. I assume that it will take six months to sort out their line and get them on a different course. However, I recall among the good contributions in previous debates about 28-day detention those of the now Attorney-General. He clearly signalled before the election his opposition to 28 days and said that the policy would be reviewed. It is therefore not true that only the Liberals made such a proposal. As Opposition Front Benchers discover that they need to change their position on immigration, I appeal to them to wake up to civil liberties.
