Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill

Debate between Marquess of Lothian and Lord Hylton

Tuesday 20th January 2015 Lords Chamber

[The Marquess of Lothian (Con)]

My Lords, I wonder whether my noble friend could help me because I have missed this somewhere else. When looking at the time factor here, what is the legal and international status of someone who has been subjected to a temporary exclusion order? Are they in fact stateless during that period?

[Lord Hylton (CB)]

My Lords, I would like to support the words of my two noble friends who have recently spoken. We will otherwise be faced with a situation where each new outbreak of terrorism somewhere or other will lead to a cutting back and diminution of traditional, well known and respected civil liberties.
