Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 1 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble and learned Lord for his very full, clear and thorough explanation of his views. However, I remain largely unpersuaded by them. There is a strong case for applying the evidential burden rather than the higher burden in some cases, as was done in the Terrorism Act. However, we have made the case for the measure. I recognise that there are arguments on both sides. Therefore, I do not intend to divide the House and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 8 [Attendance at a place used for terrorist training]:
