Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown unveiled in parliament Wednesday new anti-terror measures he would like to see implemented in the coming months. For VOA, Tom Rivers reports from London.

Breaking away from dealing with the worst flooding in Britain in 60 years, Prime Minister Gordon Brown returned Wednesday to the topic of terrorism, announcing in the House of Commons that his government hopes to implement new measures in the next few months.

Mr. Brown said they are needed to confront what he called a generation-long challenge to defeat al-Qaida inspired terrorist violence. The British leader said some of the new measures would be incorporated into the forthcoming counter-terrorism bill.

He also said that, the electronic screening of people coming in and out of Britain would be required.

"Within nine months, from March next year, we will extend biometric visas to all visa applicants," he said. "From 2009, we will introduce a new enhanced system of electronic control linking the checking of passports to checking against the warning index."

The prime minister also said the separate functions of passport control, customs and policing at entry points like airports would soon be combined into a single, unified force.

"We will now integrate the vital work of the border and immigration agency, customs and U.K. visa overseas and at the main points of entry into the U.K. and we will establish a unified border force," he said.

Mr. Brown also said the time has come to link the British watch list of suspects to the Interpol database.

In addition, Mr. Brown wants to deport more prisoners held in Britain, sending them back to their home countries.

Mr. Brown wants legislation to allow forwiretapevidence to be allowed in court. He also wants the 28 days currently allowed to hold individuals without charge to be extended. The former prime minister, Tony Blair, tried to pass that measure, but it was defeated in the House of Commons.

While agreeing with most of the proposals, David Cameron, the leader of the main opposition party - the Conservatives - warned that new rules alone, without attempts to win hearts and minds, will in the end be counterproductive.

"Vitally, does the government understand that what is needed to defeat terrorism is thehard-noseddefense of liberty, and we must avoid any approach that lapses into ineffective authoritarianism," he asked.

Mr. Brown says since 2001 there have been 15 attempted terrorist attacks on Britain, with 30 people convicted of terrorist offenses.
