Terrorism Bill

As my noble friend the Minister said, this has been in many ways an extraordinary debate. At times it has been very passionate and there have been many heartfelt contributions. I shall follow the convention which has been followed heretofore on the Bill, and generally in the House, of having the debate, the discussion and the probing of questions in Committee, but voting on Report. I should like to give noble Lords who do not feel that they can agree with the amendment the opportunity to go away and reflect on the debate tonight. As my noble friend said, it has been overwhelmingly in favour of the amendment, but I should like to give those noble Lords the opportunity to think the matter over before I bring it back on Report. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
