Counter Terrorism Bill
Alistair Carmichael
2008-02-26
That this House notes with concern Clause 27 (Jurisdiction to try offences committed in the UK) in the Counter Terrorism Bill, which would allow terrorism offences committed in Scotland to be tried in any court in the United Kingdom; recognises that the constitutional independence of the Scottish legal system was recognised in the Act of Union in 1707; believes that Clause 27 represents an unjustified and unconstitutional attack on the integrity of the independent Scottish legal system; and calls on UK Ministers to support an Amendment to remove Clause 27 from the Counter Terrorism Bill.
