Terrorism Bill

I cannot give the noble Lord any comfort—and he will understand that—as a result of the consideration that there will be a material change in the glorification provisions. I have outlined that clearly. The intent provision has already been changed in terms of how the offence under Clause 1 will be dealt with. We have made the change to ““subjective intent”” from ““objective intent””—which we all accepted was a very material change. We believe that the provisions are now compliant. But of course it would be imprudent not to look further at the committee’s report to consider what we think, as the noble Lord has invited me to do, between now and Report, and to express a view on Report. I take on board the noble Lord’s own position, which is that on Report, having heard what I have said in response, he may take whatever decision that he deems to be appropriate. We appreciate that that is his position. The noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Alloway, may like to reserve his position till Report for the same purpose.
