"It is reported that around £20 million has been paid to 16 former Guantanamo Bay detainees. This morning, Lord Blunkett suggested that that sum should be formally reviewed because the public will be dismayed. They will be particularly concerned if any of that money has gone to fund terrorism. Will …..."Andrew Murrison - View Speech

Written Question
Wednesday 21st December 2016
Asked by:
Andrew Murrison (Conservative - South West Wiltshire)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress the Government has made on reforming pre-charge bail.
Answered by Brandon Lewis
The Government plans to reform pre-charge bail through the provisions of chapter 1 of Part 4 of the Policing and Crime Bill, which is currently at Report Stage in the House of Lords.
In the expectation that the Bill will receive Royal Assent early in the new year, we are working closely with the College of Policing to develop guidance which will form part of the College’s Authorised Professional Practice on Detention, Custody and Bail Management. In parallel, we are working with colleagues at the Ministry of Justice and Her Majesty’s Courts & Tribunals Service to develop Criminal Procedure Rules for use by the courts for pre-charge bail extension hearings.
The Government is also working with the Police, NHS England, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, NHS Wales and the Local Government Association on a series of Memoranda of Understanding to streamline the provision and processing of evidence to enable the police to conclude their investigations within the 28-day initial bail period.

Investigatory Powers Bill
"The solution, of course, would be for the Government to accept Baroness Hollins’s amendments, and then the Bill would be secured, since all of us in this place are broadly supportive of its stated intentions. Many of us have sat through these debates at great length for a very long …..."Andrew Murrison - View Speech

Investigatory Powers Bill
"My hon. Friend is right to say so.
Does the Minister accept that the only objection to this measure that the Government are putting forward is that it is in the wrong place? That appears to be a fairly slim argument. Can he assure people like me who are perhaps …..."Andrew Murrison - View Speech

Investigatory Powers Bill
"As ever, I am listening to my hon. Friend’s comments with a great deal of interest. I fear, however, that he may be over-egging things a little bit. There are, of course, very large organisations behind the apparently small media outlets that he refers to. He probably received a note …..."Andrew Murrison - View Speech
