Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) 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
I see what the noble Earl is directing his mind to. It is not entirely apposite because directly inciting someone and giving them the wherewithal to complete the offence is one thing; ““encouraging”” falls short of the direct offence of incitement. We have to consider whether we believe that people should be able to encourage others to commit acts of terror. We on this side of the House are very clear that they should not be encouraged or lawfully allowed so to do and that we should do all we can to prevent them so doing.
