No evidence to support extension to detention without charge beyond 28 days

Sir Ken MacDonald the director of public prosecutions has told MPs that "Our experience has been that 28 days has suited us quite nicely."
He added: "Our experience so far has been that we have managed - and managed reasonably comfortably.
"Of course it's always possible to set up hypothetical situations in which it could become extremely challenging - and it's for Parliament to decide whether it wants to proceed on the basis of hypotheticals - rather than the evidence we have received so far,"

It also turns out that the Labour Ex-Attorney General Lord Goldsmith had not supported the last attempt to extend detention to 90 days in 2005 and would have voted against it in the House of Lords had it not been voted down in the House of Commons. “I didn't see any evidence during my time to indicate that longer than 28 days was necessary.”
