Judges 'could get detention veto'
Strengthening the role of judges could
be key to a deal on allowing terror
suspects to be held for up to 90 days
without charge, Lord Falconer says.
The constitutional affairs secretary
told BBC One's Sunday AM that judges
could be given the power to order the
release of a suspect at any time.
This would provide the safeguard
critics want that the powers would not
be misused, he said.
Both the Tories and the Lib Dems oppose
the current 90 day detention plans.
