Labour’s discredited control orders must be scrapped – Huhne

Commenting on today’s High Court ruling that quashed control orders on two terror suspects and opened the way for them to claim compensation, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

“Today’s ruling must sound the death knell for Labour’s discredited control orders regime.

“It is an affront to British justice and the freedom people have fought and died for to place people under de facto house arrest without even telling them why.

“It now seems this fiasco is going to cost thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money.

“Control orders should be scrapped before any more time and money is wasted.”
