Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill 2005-06.


Terrorism Bill

The Minister has rightly pointed out the complexity of many of the examples, so I shall give her a simpler one. If a newspaper were to carry a photograph of a direct encouragement to terrorism—for example, some of the recent placards—on its website, would that website be indirectly encouraging terrorism? Under the Bill, the encouragement would be indirect, but the judiciary rather than the police should make such fine judgments.
