Pre-charge Detention

Asked to explain why 42-day detention was better than any other amount of time, the PMS said that he was happy to go through the issue again following that morning’s detailed discussion on the subject if people wanted him to. At which point, the question was withdrawn.

Asked if the Government was confident of it getting through Parliament, the PMS replied that it was the Government’s intention to do this on a consultative and consensual basis. Obviously with any legislation the Government brought forward, it was done so on the anticipation that it would get through Parliament.
