Terrorism Bill

My Lords, as someone who participated in this discussion on Second Reading, and was extremely unhappy with the idea of objective recklessness—against which I hope I mounted a coherent case—I am pleased to welcome the Government’s change of mind in favour of subjective recklessness. With the words in the amendment and, in a Pepper v Hart context, the clear statements that the Minister has made about the nature of recklessness embodied in the Bill—that it is a subjective thing—I am now happy to support the Government, largely for the reasons that the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, mentioned.
