Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) 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

The Minister keeps talking about people reckless as to whether their words would encourage terrorism. What about the word ““might””? People cannot be certain when they stand here what effects their words will have on freedom fighters or guerrillas—call them what you will—several thousand miles away. They might hope that their words of sympathy would not encourage terrorism, but they cannot be certain.
