:00:16. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to Thursday in Parliament.
:00:18. > :00:22.Was a British terror suspect paid compensation after being held
:00:23. > :00:27.And was the money used to fund terrorism?
:00:28. > :00:31.People across the country will feel sickened at the idea of large
:00:32. > :00:34.payments being made to someone who may have been involved
:00:35. > :00:40.There are calls for an end to so-called witch-hunts
:00:41. > :00:43.against soldiers who served in Northern Ireland.
:00:44. > :00:46.It is wrong that our veterans are sitting at home,
:00:47. > :00:50.wondering if, perhaps, a third or fourth investigation
:00:51. > :00:54.is now going to take place into their case.
:00:55. > :00:57.And calls for an investigation into claims that some peers turn up
:00:58. > :01:00.briefly to the House of Lords - just to claim their
:01:01. > :01:06.Surely, does the Leader of the House not agree,
:01:07. > :01:09.this at least warrants some sort of investigation as to what's going
:01:10. > :01:14.But first, Jamal al-Harith - a British citizen -
:01:15. > :01:18.was held as a terror suspect in Guantanano Bay in 2001
:01:19. > :01:22.after the US forces seized him in Pakistan.
:01:23. > :01:27.The Daily Mail has claimed that the British Government gave him
:01:28. > :01:36.Jamal al-Harith subsequently joined the so-called Islamic State group,
:01:37. > :01:38.and last week he carried out a suicide attack at
:01:39. > :01:43.The Home Office was called to the Commons to make
:01:44. > :01:47.But, at the outset, a Minister explained that there were a few
:01:48. > :01:52.The monitoring of individuals is an intelligent matter,
:01:53. > :01:56.and the Government does not and cannot comment
:01:57. > :01:59.Neither can the Government comment on whether particular individuals
:02:00. > :02:06.In November 2010, the then Lord Chancellor, Secretary
:02:07. > :02:09.of State for Justice, my right honourable friend
:02:10. > :02:11.the member for Rushcliffe, informed the House of Commons
:02:12. > :02:14.the Government had secured and mediated settlement
:02:15. > :02:17.of the civil damages, claims brought by a detainees
:02:18. > :02:23.held at Guantanamo Bay in the early 2000s.
:02:24. > :02:26.The details of that settlement were subject to a legally binding
:02:27. > :02:28.confidentiality agreement, and we are therefore unable
:02:29. > :02:31.to confirm whether any specific individual received
:02:32. > :02:36.It is reported that Jamal al-Harith has died in a suicide attack
:02:37. > :02:39.in Mosul, and in doing so has killed several others on behalf
:02:40. > :02:45.If these reports are correct, he was a deeply dangerous man
:02:46. > :02:48.involved in the worst kind of extremism and terrorism,
:02:49. > :02:50.that I'm sure will be widely condemned on all sides of this
:02:51. > :02:56.Everyone understands there will be information that cannot be revealed
:02:57. > :03:03.However, he has provided far too little information
:03:04. > :03:10.Can he confirm whether Mr al-Harith was made any payment, and also,
:03:11. > :03:12.notwithstanding the subsequent, welcome legislation -
:03:13. > :03:20.which had cross-party support to tighten the law -
:03:21. > :03:22.would he agree that people across the country will feel
:03:23. > :03:25.sickened at the idea of large payments being made to someone
:03:26. > :03:27.who may have been involved in serious terrorist activity?
:03:28. > :03:29.We know that Mr al-Harith was subject to monitoring
:03:30. > :03:33.after 2004, was he subject to monitoring between 2010,
:03:34. > :03:37.when the compensation payments are reported to have been made,
:03:38. > :03:40.and reportedly leaving the country in 2014?
:03:41. > :03:44.I thank the right honourable lady for her questions.
:03:45. > :03:47.Can I also say, like her, and like my constituents,
:03:48. > :03:49.we will all be outraged and disappointed by the sums
:03:50. > :03:58.But the sums of money that had been paid and been
:03:59. > :04:00.reported to have been paid, I can't comment on
:04:01. > :04:06.And unlike former Home Secretaries, the Government is bound by its legal
:04:07. > :04:08.obligations that it has made, and we cannot break
:04:09. > :04:12.But I can say that some of the vulnerability that led us
:04:13. > :04:15.to have to pay those damages occurred when she was a member
:04:16. > :04:19.of the Labour Government, and when those individuals brought
:04:20. > :04:26.There will be natural public concern about the case of Jamal al-Harith
:04:27. > :04:35.he was allegedly paid ?1 million in compensation by the UK
:04:36. > :04:39.Government following his incarceration in Guantanamo.
:04:40. > :04:42.And there will be natural public concern that the Minister has chosen
:04:43. > :04:44.to hide behind the notion of sensitive intelligence to fail
:04:45. > :04:50.to answer even the simplest factual questions about this case.
:04:51. > :04:58.We don't need to know exactly how much, but was there any payment?
:04:59. > :05:01.Is there any truth in the idea that the settlement was designed
:05:02. > :05:05.to stop al-Harith making embarrassing revelations
:05:06. > :05:10.about our acquiescence in enabling of the torture of a UK citizen?
:05:11. > :05:14.It is reported that around ?20 million was being paid to former
:05:15. > :05:19.Guantanamo Bay detainees, 16 in number.
:05:20. > :05:23.This morning, Lord Blunkett suggested that sum should
:05:24. > :05:27.be formally reviewed, since the public will be dismayed,
:05:28. > :05:29.and they will be particularly concerned if any of that money has
:05:30. > :05:34.Will he undertake to review the ?20 million or thereabouts
:05:35. > :05:37.that is reported to have been paid out to these individuals?
:05:38. > :05:43.My right honourable friend raises an important point
:05:44. > :05:46.about the destination or what happens to any money
:05:47. > :05:51.One of the reasons we took through the House only on Tuesday
:05:52. > :05:53.the Criminal Finances Bill, which covers terrorist financing,
:05:54. > :05:57.is to give us even more powers to track money destined
:05:58. > :06:02.The root cause of the problem here is the operation
:06:03. > :06:08.The Government previously supported President Obama's aspiration to see
:06:09. > :06:11.it closed and the reduction in numbers there.
:06:12. > :06:13.The current president, when he was campaigning,
:06:14. > :06:16.said he was going to load it up with some "bad dudes".
:06:17. > :06:19.Does the Government now support President Obama's position
:06:20. > :06:25.I think before the Government comments on United States action,
:06:26. > :06:27.we should see what the actions are in themselves.
:06:28. > :06:30.I can tell you from my own personal experience, as a young officer
:06:31. > :06:33.in Northern Ireland doing counterterrorism, is torture,
:06:34. > :06:36.degrading people doesn't work, it doesn't get
:06:37. > :06:40.In fact, it usually extends conflict.
:06:41. > :06:43.Can I diassociate myself from these disgraceful attacks from the Tory
:06:44. > :06:46.benches on the Daily Mail for campaigning to release British
:06:47. > :06:52.Lord Carlile was a Government adviser, he has stated that Jamal
:06:53. > :06:55.al-Harith and others were paid compensation to prevent
:06:56. > :07:02.the release of security information through the courts
:07:03. > :07:06.It's bit late now for the Minister now to rest on confidentiality,
:07:07. > :07:09.so perhaps he could tell us this - what was the date of
:07:10. > :07:11.the confidentiality clause which the Minister was citing?
:07:12. > :07:21.First of all, perhaps I could respond to the right
:07:22. > :07:24.honourable gentleman's point about the attacks on the Daily Mail.
:07:25. > :07:26.I don't think anyone's heard from this dispatch box
:07:27. > :07:32.I know he'd like to put up a strawman to make some allegations.
:07:33. > :07:36.As I said in my answer, November 2010, we made a legally
:07:37. > :07:43.The key word in there for him is legally binding.
:07:44. > :07:46.It's not confidentially, it's the legally binding bit.
:07:47. > :07:49.Which I'm sure he'll understand puts an obligation on us,
:07:50. > :07:53.it's not an obligation on former Home Secretaries, by
:07:54. > :07:55.the sounds of things, or reviewers of terrorism,
:07:56. > :08:01.And should it even be an SNP Government, they would be
:08:02. > :08:03.legally obliged to stick to the confidentially
:08:04. > :08:07.The Government has come under pressure to take urgent action over
:08:08. > :08:09.investigations into allegations against British veterans who served
:08:10. > :08:14.Some Conservatives and Democratic Unionist MPs have said that,
:08:15. > :08:20.in future, inquiries should only proceed if NEW evidence
:08:21. > :08:24.The demands follow the decision by the Defence Secretary,
:08:25. > :08:27.Sir Michael Fallon, to shut down the Iraq Historic Allegations Team.
:08:28. > :08:29.We believe that the Government must give urgent consideration
:08:30. > :08:32.to introducing a statute of limitations for soldiers
:08:33. > :08:36.and police officers who face the prospect of prosecution in cases
:08:37. > :08:41.which, and this is very important, in cases which have
:08:42. > :08:48.previously been the subject of full police investigations.
:08:49. > :08:52.It is wrong that our veterans are sitting at home wondering
:08:53. > :08:57.if perhaps a third or a fourth investigation is now going to take
:08:58. > :09:02.place into their case simply because some hot,
:09:03. > :09:07.fast-thinking, make a quick buck human rights lawyer in Belfast
:09:08. > :09:10.thinks it's a good idea to reopen this case.
:09:11. > :09:21.To re-open cases now, Madam Speaker, what it does,
:09:22. > :09:23.it actually is revisionism, it's trying to rewrite history.
:09:24. > :09:25.We're trying to look at what happened then
:09:26. > :09:29.through the lens of 2017, were we have a whole
:09:30. > :09:31.new emphasis on human rights and different standards.
:09:32. > :09:37.I find this perverse, long and completely unacceptable.
:09:38. > :09:43.I am increasingly worried because 38 years ago I gave my word the two men
:09:44. > :09:49.under my command after they had been involved in a fatality shooting
:09:50. > :09:52.that, if they went to court, and were charged with manslaughter
:09:53. > :09:55.and they were proved not guilty, they would never
:09:56. > :10:04.I gave my word and it looks like my word may not be worth
:10:05. > :10:14.I'm grateful to my honourable and gallant friend.
:10:15. > :10:18.I think we all, a lot of us share on this side of the House,
:10:19. > :10:21.the view that fresh evidence, a transparent procedure for showing
:10:22. > :10:25.that fresh evidence has emerged, should be the requirement for any
:10:26. > :10:30.There cannot be a progress to the future without a complete
:10:31. > :10:32.settlement of the issues of the past.
:10:33. > :10:35.There has to be the closure, there has to be the investigation,
:10:36. > :10:38.there has to be the disinfectant of sunlight, to quote the phrase.
:10:39. > :10:43.We have to move on, sure and certain in the knowledge that we have done
:10:44. > :10:49.We will never accept any kind of moral equivalence between those
:10:50. > :10:53.who sought to uphold the rule of law and terrorists who
:10:54. > :10:59.For us, politically motivated violence in Northern Ireland
:11:00. > :11:09.Whether it was carried out by Republicans or loyalists.
:11:10. > :11:11.The Northern Ireland Secretary called on all parties -
:11:12. > :11:14.following next week's elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly -
:11:15. > :11:16.to get behind the 2014 Stormont House Agreement
:11:17. > :11:20.and the plans to set up a Historical Investigations Unit.
:11:21. > :11:24.Any legislation establishing the HRU would include specific tests
:11:25. > :11:29.which must be met in order that a previously completed case
:11:30. > :11:36.This will mean specifically that new and credible evidence
:11:37. > :11:41.that was not previously available to the authorities is needed before
:11:42. > :11:50.I would hope that, on the far side of this election,
:11:51. > :11:54.that there is that opportunity for the restoration of the political
:11:55. > :11:58.institutions and that there's parallel negotiations to deal
:11:59. > :12:03.with these issues that are outstanding, that
:12:04. > :12:08.It's absolutely important that the institutions
:12:09. > :12:11.which were being set up under the Stormont House Agreement,
:12:12. > :12:13.which the Secretary of State referred to and which my right
:12:14. > :12:15.honourable friend referred to, the Historical Investigation Unit
:12:16. > :12:18.and so on, are set up so we can have a balanced, fair
:12:19. > :12:21.and proportionate approach to all of this.
:12:22. > :12:24.On Monday, the Prime Minister Theresa May turned up in the House
:12:25. > :12:27.of Lords to watch the start of the debate on the Bill
:12:28. > :12:32.authorising the Government to trigger the start of the Uk's
:12:33. > :12:35.It's extremely rare for a Prime Minister to observe
:12:36. > :12:41.A Labour MP, Valerie Vaz, was suspicious about
:12:42. > :12:45.This is a photo opportunity for Prime Minister and Government.
:12:46. > :12:49.All photos, no substance or any thought for the British people.
:12:50. > :12:52.Not content with being the first to visit the United States,
:12:53. > :12:55.when the Prime Minister should have been networking in Europe,
:12:56. > :12:58.the Prime Minister then photobombs the House of Lords in the company
:12:59. > :13:02.No wonder we can't get a date for recess.
:13:03. > :13:06.Instead of photobombing, the Prime Minister needs to focus
:13:07. > :13:08.on what is going on in her own Cabinet.
:13:09. > :13:11.She may have come off the sofa and into the Cabinet table,
:13:12. > :13:23.I was disappointed in what they said about the House of Lords.
:13:24. > :13:25.I actually think it's important, it's important that ministers
:13:26. > :13:27.respect the constitutional role of the House of Lords.
:13:28. > :13:30.In my experience, both in Government and in Opposition,
:13:31. > :13:38.members like the fact that ministers and indeed occasionally Opposition
:13:39. > :13:43.spokesmen go and listen to what they have to say
:13:44. > :13:46.and that is exactly what my right honourable friend the Prime Minister
:13:47. > :13:55.and I were doing earlier in the week.
:13:56. > :13:58.I suppose the Leader of the House can safely put away that Abolition
:13:59. > :14:01.of the Lords Bill then, and all we really needed
:14:02. > :14:03.was a selfie with himself and the Prime Minister
:14:04. > :14:05.when he visited the Chamber last week.
:14:06. > :14:07.After threatening to lead this great Brexit rebellion,
:14:08. > :14:09.these brave tribunes have led the nation all the way
:14:10. > :14:12.to the top of the hill and all the way back down again,
:14:13. > :14:14.while obviously leaving the taxi motor running.
:14:15. > :14:21.Am I the only member of the House that is slightly disturbed by these
:14:22. > :14:24.allegations from the former Lord Speaker?
:14:25. > :14:27.This is taxpayers' money, surely does the Leader of the House
:14:28. > :14:31.not agree that this at least warrants some sort of investigation
:14:32. > :14:34.about what is going on down there with their expenses?
:14:35. > :14:36.He was referring to claims made in a BBC programme
:14:37. > :14:40.on the House of Lords, due to be aired next Tuesday.
:14:41. > :14:43.The former Leader of the Lords says some peers turn up briefly,
:14:44. > :14:47.While I don't know any detail beyond the reports of this
:14:48. > :14:52.television programme, it is clearly a right to that
:14:53. > :14:55.evidence about specific allegations needs to be investigated
:14:56. > :14:58.by the appropriate authorities in that House, just as should be
:14:59. > :15:05.There also has to be due process and one has to proceed on the basis
:15:06. > :15:10.You're watching Thursday in Parliament, with me,
:15:11. > :15:19.New figures show net migration has fallen to its lowest
:15:20. > :15:21.level for two years - but it's still above
:15:22. > :15:28.It dropped to 273,000 in the year to September, down 49,000
:15:29. > :15:35.The Home Secretary said the numbers showed that "we can reduce migration
:15:36. > :15:41.Just as those figures were being released,
:15:42. > :15:45.the Lord's Economic Affairs Committee was holding
:15:46. > :15:48.its latest hearing into Brexit and the Labour market.
:15:49. > :15:51.I would suggest an objective of this kind - a level of net migration that
:15:52. > :15:54.avoids undue pressure on our population, public services
:15:55. > :16:06.Finally, as for an appropriate level, that of course
:16:07. > :16:25.I would say that even 100,000 a year would add
:16:26. > :16:27.to our population over next 25 years, so if you're
:16:28. > :16:29.concern is of population, crowding and everything that follows
:16:30. > :16:33.that, then you should be having in mind something of that order over
:16:34. > :16:38.The net migration target is nonsense.
:16:39. > :16:46.It's absurd, because there's no right level of net migration.
:16:47. > :16:50.It's absurd because the Government doesn't have the means to achieve
:16:51. > :16:55.any arbitrary target that it sets, both because it can scarcely control
:16:56. > :17:01.immigration or EU migration, and because it only has limited
:17:02. > :17:05.And last but not least, and crucially, because in
:17:06. > :17:08.prioritising an absurd and arbitrary target, it takes stupid and costly
:17:09. > :17:13.decisions without thinking through the consequences.
:17:14. > :17:18.So it's madness at a time when every country in the world is trying
:17:19. > :17:21.to increase its share of the booming global export market to be clamping
:17:22. > :17:31.What you are advocating for is a complete free-for-all that
:17:32. > :17:36.anyone who's got a job should be able to get a visa to come
:17:37. > :17:40.here and you say, in response to the point that's been made
:17:41. > :17:44.by Lord Green about the public backlash that might result,
:17:45. > :17:47.is that this could be dealt with by making welfare
:17:48. > :17:56.The problem we have is people can't get GP appointments,
:17:57. > :18:01.the National Health Service is enormous pressure,
:18:02. > :18:04.there is huge opposition to building on the green belt.
:18:05. > :18:06.Isn't this an idealistic economic model which is
:18:07. > :18:15.The self-selected migrants that are able to come to Britain freely
:18:16. > :18:17.tend to be particularly highly educated, are more
:18:18. > :18:19.likely to be employed and are particularly large net
:18:20. > :18:22.In effect, they're actually subsidising the public services
:18:23. > :18:26.If there were no migrants here, there'd be even less money,
:18:27. > :18:29.net, for public services for British people.
:18:30. > :18:33.Not to mention, doctors, far fewer doctors and nurses to care for them.
:18:34. > :18:37.A Liberal Democrat asked about sectors such as agriculture,
:18:38. > :18:45.that relied on large amounts of low skilled migrant workers.
:18:46. > :18:47.You're saying we should aim to be ultimately
:18:48. > :18:55.Well, I mean, we have 1.5 million people who are unemployed
:18:56. > :18:58.and we have over 1 million part-time workers who are looking
:18:59. > :19:01.for full-time work, so it's not as if the barrel is empty.
:19:02. > :19:04.Robinson Crusoe scraped by on his island.
:19:05. > :19:14.But the idea that it is desirable is insane.
:19:15. > :19:21.Just as if we try to become self-sufficient in goods
:19:22. > :19:24.and services, we would adjust, we would be poorer
:19:25. > :19:26.Mechanization clearly is one thing that would happen.
:19:27. > :19:28.Some things we would just do without.
:19:29. > :19:31.So the Scottish strawberries that Lord Forsyth loves would go unpicked
:19:32. > :19:33.and so perhaps would the English strawberries, and we would import
:19:34. > :19:37.Whether British people would be better off as a result
:19:38. > :19:55.With some 100,000 people facing starvation, and a million more
:19:56. > :19:59.on the brink of famine in South Sudan, an independent peer,
:20:00. > :20:01.Lord Alton, secured an urgent question in the House of Lords.
:20:02. > :20:04.He wanted to know what was being done to tackle the causes
:20:05. > :20:14.Does the noble lord agree that the three-year civil war
:20:15. > :20:17.in South Sudan and the continuing conflict just north in the Republic
:20:18. > :20:23.of Sudan have generated vast numbers of refugees and a consequential
:20:24. > :20:25.inability to grow and harvest crops, and that should remain our priority
:20:26. > :20:35.Can the noble lord tell us what progress is being made
:20:36. > :20:38.in achieving this, in obtaining access to closed areas in the unity
:20:39. > :20:39.state and then galvanizing international effort
:20:40. > :20:42.to save the lives of millions now at risk of starvation,

:21:14. > :21:16.are at risk because of famine and there we are doing

:22:21. > :22:24.like in the post-Brexit world - when the UK takes

:23:21. > :23:26.Minister said recently, and I would reiterate,
:23:27. > :23:31.our desire post Brexit is not to have long queues on our borders,
:23:32. > :23:34.it's actually to have sensible arrangements to allow people
:23:35. > :23:36.to travel to do business but also to enable us to have the controls
:23:37. > :23:40.on migration to the United Kingdom that I think people
:23:41. > :23:42.voted for last year. Does my right honourable
:23:43. > :23:47.friend agree that, once the UK leaves the EU,
:23:48. > :23:50.we will be free to open dedicated entry lanes to our airports for use
:23:51. > :23:53.only by UK citizens and those of our overseas territories,

:24:00. > :24:02.for this House and this Government to decide how best
:24:03. > :24:04.to manage our borders, but I'm sure my honourable friend
:24:05. > :24:06.would wish to ensure that, where appropriate,
:24:07. > :24:08.we have the smoothest possible passes through our border for people

:24:23. > :24:30.concern about the timeliness that would be required for physical

:24:35. > :24:37.with airlines and airports earlier this week and will continue
:24:38. > :24:40.to do so. We will continue to consult

:25:19. > :25:26.a situation where we said we create vast additional queues
