Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) 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

My Amendment No. 101 is to elicit the reason for treating offences under Sections 3(1)(a) and (b) of the Explosive Substances Act 1883 differently from the offences listed in Clause 17(2) when they are treated as triable in the United Kingdom—I refer your Lordships to Clause 17(5). My Amendment No. 102 is, first, to elicit which offences would be caught by the qualification in relation to Scotland; secondly, to ask why it is necessary to define them more strictly than others; and thirdly, to ask what the consequences of that would be.
