Cooper criticises May on Qatada slow response

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Copper has criticised Home Secretary Theresa May for not getting personally involved with the Jordanian Government over Abu Qatada until now.

The Home Secretary is set to fly to Jordan to discuss Abu Qatada’s deportation but Ms Cooper believes the move has come too late.

She said: “Had Ministers taken urgent action with Jordan a month ago when the first court judgement was received that could have helped keep Abu Qatada behind bars in line with the government's security assessment. The Home Secretary still needs to explain why she has not appealed against the European Court decision given a month ago, and what assurances she has had from Jordan and when she thinks an agreement will be reached.”

Ms Cooper also encouraged Ms May to consider what she’ll do “if these negotiations fail” and make sure “she has sufficient power to protect national security” when Abu Qatada’s bail expires in three months time.

The radical preacher was released from a UK jail earlier this week under strict bail conditions.
