Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

The right hon. and learned Gentleman shakes his head, but there is a clear distinction—not least on Hezbollah's own terms—between that organisation's social, political and humanitarian wings, and its military wing. That is very clear. Given the evidence of the military wing of Hezbollah's direct support for terrorism in Iraq and the occupied Palestinian territories, I believe that it is right that we continue to proscribe the External Security Organisation and that we extend the existing proscription to cover Hezbollah's entire military wing. I commend the order to the House.
