Home Secretary Theresa May accused of "cavalier" attitude to national secuirty ... - Mirror.co.uk

HOME Secretary Theresa May was slammed for her "cavalier" approach to ­security as police powers to hold terror suspects were cut to 14 days yesterday.

Her deputy Damian Green had promised to put in place measures so that the 28-day limit, which ended at midnight, could be brought back during a crisis.

But the Home Office said last night that no new powers were needed.

New shadow home ­Secretary Yvette Cooper warned the Government's strategy was "collapsing into ever-greater confusion".

Ms Cooper said: "This is chaotic and shambolic."

She also criticised the way findings of a terror review had been leaked ahead of an official announcement.

Ms May will say tomorrow that the ­Government has heeded Liberal Dem demands to scrap control orders, a form of arrest for suspects who cannot be tried.
