Press release ~ 2007 UK Greenhouse Gas emissions, final figures ~ How UK Emissions of Greenhouse Gases are measured
HO: The draft Order to renew control orders legislation has been laid before Parliament by the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith. The annual report on the operation of control orders legislation by the independent reviewer Lord Carlile has also been published.
In it he analyses the operation of the control order system in 2008 and concludes that he 'would have reached the same decision as the Secretary of State in each case in which a control order has been made in 2008'.
In the report Lord Carlile also stated: "The control order system as operated currently is a justifiable and proportional safety valve for the proper protection of civil society, but prosecution and conviction by a jury of criminal offences is a far more wholesome and satisfactory way of dealing with suspected terrorists."
