Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I can assure the noble Baroness that Amendment No. 79 will catch all legitimate activity not caught by any other legislation. We were very conscious of the concerns raised by noble Lords. The Royal Society of Chemistry made the point quite forcefully, too. We believe that Amendment No. 79 goes further than any of the amendments that had been tabled. The reason is that, having looked at the mischief, we thought that a more comprehensive amendment was needed. We were delighted to go further than anyone had asked us to go because we thought that that was the right thing to do.
