Mr Titford said: "This bill is very frightening in that it gives this Government very loosely defined powers to declare an 'emergency' on the flimsiest of pretexts and place extraordinary powers in the hands of a small group of ministers and regional co-ordinators. Once this has been done democracy is in effect suspended, Parliament becomes inoperative. The citizenry, who are the soul of a democracy, are effectively brought under strict police/military rule. Property can be confiscated without compensation and previous Acts of Parliament can be nullified."
