Political Prisoners In The UK

EDM number 855 in 2004-05, proposed by Malcolm Bruce on 08/03/2005.

That this House believes that if the Government persists in seeking legislation that gives to a Minister of the Crown the right to impose detention or control orders on UK residents without the decision being taken in a court on the basis of a trial of evidence then the UK will stand accused of creating political prisoners seriously damaging the reputation of this country's legal system as a beacon to the world.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
