Terrorism Bill

These are very much lawyers’ matters and I am no lawyer. I think I understood what the noble Baroness was saying about the amendments tabled by my noble friend on the Front Bench. Referring to Amendment No. 1, tabled by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Cameron of Lochbroom, in response to a request from the Law Society of Scotland, I understood the noble Baroness to say that she thought it would not make a great deal of difference to accept Amendment No. 1, but she thought it somewhat ““legalistic.”” I wonder whether, when the noble and learned Lord, Lord Cameron of Lochbroom, replies, he could tell us whether he feels, as a very distinguished retired judge of the High Court in Scotland, that his wording would make it very much easier to reach a judgment than that suggested by the Government? The point of his amendment is that it would make it easier for a court to decide the issue. I hope that I am not speaking out of order, but it seems an important point.
