Terrorism Bill

If I may, I shall now address my remarks to the Home Secretary, who referred to the Opposition parties’ attempt to find a way to satisfy the rather petulant insistence on the use of the word ““glorification”” by qualifying and defining it in a way that neuters its ill-judged effects. It was a serious, concerted and sincere attempt to secure agreement in all parts of the House, and if his only reaction to it is to make crass debating points, it will discourage further attempts in other situations to achieve cross-party consensus.
