Tania Exley-Moore, Liberal Democrat parliamentary spokesperson for Scarborough and Whitby has welcomed the defeat of the proposal to detain terrorist suspects without charge for 90 days. She said that the new 28 day limit was a good compromise, and that she was delighted with Charles Kennedy's leadership in defending hard-fought civil liberties.

Tania Exley-Moore said, '90 day detention without charge would have been a huge loss of civil liberties - liberties are hard won and easily lost, and I am proud of the Liberal Democrats' principled and consistent opposition to the Labour government's authoritarian proposals.'
