Terrorism Bill

My Lords, I am sure that the noble Baroness appreciates that in the subsection to which she has just referred, the offence is said to include,"““every statement which . . . glorifies the commission or preparation of such acts or offences (whether in the past, in the future or generally””." Whereas the original draft clauses from the Home Office included a 20-year limitation, there is now no limitation. To take Irish terrorism for example, as I was discussing in Dublin this weekend, Irish terrorists are inspired by events that happened in the late 1790s to commit terrorist acts at the present time.
