Terrorism Bill

Before the noble Baroness sits down and the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, replies, perhaps I may ask a probing question because I am puzzled. Article 5 of the Council of Europe convention, which is one of the relevant conventions, deals with public provocation to commit a terrorist offence. It says that,"““‘public provocation to commit a terrorist offence’ means the distribution, or otherwise making available, of a message to the public, with the intent to incite the commission of a terrorist offence, where such conduct, whether or not directly advocating terrorist offences, causes a danger that one or more such offences may be committed””." It seems to me that that applies more obviously to Clause 2 than it does to Clause 1. Therefore, I am a little puzzled to find that it is Clause 1 but not Clause 2 to which Clause 17 of the Bill applies.
