David Lammy also tells MPs he will draw up legislation to stop prisoners using human rights laws to challenge tougher conditions
The most dangerous extremist prisoners in England and Wales will be held in “supermax-style units” similar to those used in US jails, David Lammy has told MPs.
The deputy prime minister also said he would consider drawing up legislation to stop prisoners from using human rights laws to challenge tougher conditions in jail.
Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, was commissioned to carry out a review on separation units in May. His report was published on Tuesday.
Lammy said he would accept Hall’s 13 recommendations in full.
