Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
Does ““members of the public”” include, for example, students within a small seminar? Suppose a tutor is talking to his pupils—are they members of the public? If he is giving a lecture which is open only to members of a particular university, are they members of the public? It is just one of those vague expressions that runs through Clause 1 and makes it extremely difficult to understand the scope of the offence.
