Proceeding contribution from Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean (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, too, am not a lawyer and have listened closely to what has been said. Is not an indirect encouragement a statement which says that, to take a current example, people who undertake certain sorts of suicide bombings will be rewarded in the afterlife with pleasures beyond the sorts of things they currently enjoy? Is it not an indirect encouragement to say that people who undertake suicide bombings receive money from certain sources? While not asking an individual directly to undertake these suicide bombings, the statements of what may be the reward to those who do could be an indirect encouragement. Is that not what we are trying to stop—the sort of indirect encouragement which susceptible people might take as the go-ahead to carry out such crimes?
