» Thursday, October 12, 2006SIAC Evidence
Asked for view, the Leader pointed out that the Solicitor General had dealt with the issue in the House earlier. He had also been asked about it during Business Questions. Both he and the Solicitor General had said that it was very regrettable, but pointed out that this should not detract from the value of SIAC. It was very difficult to devise a process which, above all, was fair to the person accused but also protected national security. In general, SIAC had been found to be fair when it had been subject to review by the Court of Appeal. In this particular case, there was criticism by SIAC of what the Home Office had done which, he said, emphasised the robustness of those who sat in SIAC and their concern to defend properly the rights of the accused.
