Anne Main backs a change to the Immigration Bill which would allow naturalised British terror suspects to be stripped of their British citizenship.
Mrs Anne Main (St Albans) (Con): As a Member who put her name to the clause that the hon. Lady is disputing, may I say that if she looks at the intent behind it, she will see that Members such as myself and others across the House wish to see the greater good of the population trump the good of the individual? She is losing sight of other people who may be harmed, who might be other people’s children.
Sarah Teather: I think I probably do not share her utilitarian view of what the greater good is. I probably have a slightly different view about the common good and do not think that that includes causing serious or manifest or overwhelming harm to children.
