Mrs Villiers
This Government do not support amnesties for terrorists, and we oppose the legislation put forward by the previous Government which would have amounted to an effective amnesty.
Mr Robert Buckland (South Swindon) (Con)
On the prevention and detection of crime, does my right hon. Friend share the shock of many of us that the Executive seem to have interfered in the Downey case and others and in the actions of the police and the prosecution? Will she assure me that it will not be the policy of this Government to blur the lines between the Executive and the judicial process in an unacceptable way?
Mr Speaker
Quite an ingenious effort, but I would remind the Secretary of State that the question is about the National Crime Agency.
