Terrorism Bill

I invite the Minister—who has been courtesy itself—to reflect on a point she made a few moments ago. If the amendment were to be adopted and the glorification part were to be dropped, this might be interpreted by the courts as indicating that glorification was not something caught by ““encouragement””. That cannot be right. The courts would look at this debate, for example, and would see how the argument had gone—and it certainly would not sustain that interpretation. I thought the Minister recognised that a moment or two ago when she said that it was in there to be an exemplar of what was encouraging behaviour; that it cannot be both ways. On the contrary, I think the courts would glorify—to coin a phrase—the noble Baroness for relieving them of a totally unnecessary complexity.
