Counter Terrorism

Asked about the former Attorney Generals comments regarding the custody of terror suspects, stating there was no evidence to go beyond 28 days detention, the PMS replied that the Government’s position was set out in July and it remained the same. The PMS did not wish to comment on the former Attorney General’s comments directly but said that as set out in the Home Office consultation document published in July, there was a case for considering extending beyond 28 days, as long as there were appropriate judiciary and parliamentary safeguards in place.
