Lord Carlile of Berriew is a QC and Liberal Democrat peer. You can find more information about him here
‘I have been asked by the government to review independently the definition of terrorism used in UK law. This challenge has so far included research into definitions used in international treaties and in other jurisdictions, extensive consultation, and a series of public workshops. There are no ground rules, save the self-imposed demand that the outcome should reflect a correct balance between personal liberty and public protection. The response to terrorist crime must be measured and not hysterical.’

Lord Carlile has been engaging in public debates around the country in the past months as part of his review of the definition of terrorism. Last night he spoke on BBC Any Questions with Tariq Ali, Harriet Sergeant and Sir Christopher Meyer. You can listen to the programme here:
