42 days detention plan to be scrapped

42 days detention plan to be scrapped

42-day detention dropped as unworkable

Gordon Brown is preparing for a humiliating climbdown over his proposal to hold terrorist suspects for 42 days after being told that it will be defeated in the House of Lords.

Ministers admit privately that there is not ?a cat in Hell?s chance? of the legislation, which returns to the Lords this week, being passed into law.

The Government has decided against using the Parliament Act to force the measure through after peers reject it, The Times has learnt. That decision will effectively confine the controversial proposal ? which the Prime Minister fought tooth and nail to get through a Commons vote in June ? to the legislative dustbin.

I am somewhat puzzled why this unpopular measure was attempted in the first place. Could it all have been a cover for something else?

It appears we have conflicting news reports...

Downing Street insists it is pushing ahead with attempts to extend terror detention without charge to 42 days.
