division_name: Prevention of Terrorism Bill
motion: <p class="" pid="a.333.3/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="a.333.3/2" pwmotiontext="yes">The core of the case for this legislation is that this country faces substantial and real threats to the freedoms of institutions and people in our society that are qualitatively different since <phrase class="date" code="2001-09-11">11 September 2001</phrase>. Despite this country's long experience over decades of terrorism of different kinds in relation to Ireland and anti-colonial struggles of various descriptions, the nature of the threat that we now face is of a qualitatively different order and, in my opinion, requires qualitatively different measures.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="a.353.4/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move, To leave out from "That" to the end of the Question, and to add instead thereof:</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="a.353.4/2" pwmotiontext="yes">"this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Prevention of Terrorism Bill, because it contains excessive powers in relation to requirements on a person to remain at a particular place when such powers are not presently necessary; gives to the Executive powers that should be exercised by the judiciary; allows decisions to be made on an insufficient standard of proof; fails to address the need to bring terrorists to trial on the basis of all evidence available; and thus wrongly infringes the right to liberty of the individual."</p>
  
  <p pid="a.432.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes"><i>Question put,</i> That the amendment be made.</p>
  
  <p pid="a.432.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes"><i>The House divided:</i> Ayes 216, Noes 316.</p>
