Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
Is not the problem for the hon. Member for Wakefield (Mary Creagh) the word ““encouragement””? As the hon. and learned Gentleman said, his comments could be taken as encouraging by those who wished to perceive them as such. However, if the word ““incitement”” were used, it would be hard to argue that saying that something ““could be justified”” in some theoretical way constituted incitement, even though some might consider it an encouragement. It is unfortunate that we have lost the opportunity to narrow the wording.
