Categorised under the topics of Administration of justice, Terrorism and Criminal law.
That this House regrets the extension of detention without charge to a maximum of 42 days; notes that similar measures were used in Northern Ireland during the Troubles; recalls that this power was at that time referred to as internment; believes such measures led to an increase in recruiting activity by the IRA; and observes that the current Government has learned nothing about conflict resolution from the lessons of the Troubles.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
