Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill

Lord Harris of Haringey Excerpts

Wednesday 19th October 2011 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Hamwee]

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, gets there before me.

[Lord Harris of Haringey]

As ever.

[Baroness Hamwee]

No, not as ever, sometimes we are shoulder to shoulder. However, I congratulate the noble Baroness and I am grateful for her reply. It will deserve reading. I take her point about the term being used in control order legislation but I have written down,

“much the same as prima facie”.

I, for one, would not like to tangle with her over whether there is any significance in the term “much the same”. If anybody reading Hansard who is better qualified than me thinks that one should take issue with,

“much the same as prima facie”,

I will come back to it on Report. As I say, I will read the noble Baroness’s response. I am grateful to her for the detail. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
