Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (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

I want to follow up the suggestion that it is not retrospective. Clearly it is not retrospective in that you cannot prosecute somebody for past glorification. However, surely if somebody chooses, after the Bill has come into effect, to glorify something that happened before the Bill came into effect, that could still be glorification, leading to prosecution under the Act.
