Terrorism Bill

Before the Minister replies, I wish briefly to intervene. First, this is the first time that I have spoken since Second Reading; there will be one or two other moments when I speak again, but I do not intend to delay the Committee, as we are now making some quite good progress. I support my noble friend’s amendment and hope that the Minister can give us a good answer. However, in reply, could the Minister also say a little about his intentions—or the intentions of the noble Baroness, Lady Scotland—about how far we should go this evening? I know that we want to get on as far as possible; many of us are interested in debating Amendments Nos. 121 and 122, although we shall obviously not debate them tonight. But it makes sense to discuss how far we shall get tonight, so that we know what we are going to do next Tuesday.
