Peers 'will reject detention plans'
Updated on 12 October 2008
The Government's controversial plans to increase the terror detention limit to 42 days will be effectively killed off by a defeat in the Lords, one of the measure's leading critics said.
Former shadow home secretary David Davis said he expected peers to overwhelmingly reject the proposals in a vote on Monday.
Mr Davis, who resigned as an MP to force a by-election over the Government's record on civil liberties, said: "I think it will be dead."
