Commenting on the Home Secretary's announcement of a review of counter-terrorism laws, Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs, Tom Brake said:

"Under the Labour Government, hard won rights and liberties that have been a fundamental part of British life for centuries were eroded or simply cast aside.

"The Liberal Democrats have campaigned for years to give citizens back their freedoms, including scrapping control orders and reducing detention without charge. This review will be a big step towards realising these aims and making Britain a fairer country.

"The Government's first duty is to protect its citizens. I have no doubt this review will ensure public safety is balanced with the rights of the British people."
