00:00I think that it is very important that we do things in a measured way. We do not do things
00:05very quickly when we are outraged by incidents. If you remember, after the bombings of 7-7,
00:13ministers wanted to extend detention to 90 days for terrorism offences,
00:19when we have 14 days. It is always important to do things in a measured way. Unfortunately,
00:25when we have these outrageous murders of innocent people, people are, quite rightly,
00:31angry and want to know whether things can be done differently and whether there are missed
00:34opportunities. However, the key thing is to look at the missed opportunities and the resources
00:39that we have in place to deal with serious incidents and to be very careful of introducing
00:45legislation.
