Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Terrorism Bill.

Terrorism Bill

With what offence would such individuals be charged under clause 12? On the surface, I share the hon. Gentleman’s concerns. I have a strong aversion to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and, indeed, to the activities of the Greenham Common women. I am glad that the Coalition for Peace through Security, Peace through NATO, and my noble Friend Lord Heseltine were effective in campaigning against the Greenham Common protesters. However, those protesters were not terrorists and should certainly not be categorised with people who are.
