Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for giving way because I am sure that many people in the House would like to know precisely how he hopes to amend that clause. While everyone says that terrorism has not changed through the ages, in many ways it has. As one who was thrown out of Pinochet’s Chile in 1986—incidentally, his Government were supported at the time by the right hon. Gentleman’s Government—for attending the funeral of a boy who had had petrol poured over him and been set on fire by the police—[Interruption.] The right hon. Member for Haltemprice and Howden (David Davis) is asking me to hurry up, but this is an important matter. Some of us would like to know precisely how he intends to change this issue, because if it is too indirect, of course glorification should be opposed.
