Prevention of Terrorism Act

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 February 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prevention of Terrorism Act.
May I welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement, particularly the idea of consolidated legislation, which seems entirely right and appropriate? I welcome the intention to produce the Bill in draft form for pre-legislative scrutiny. That seems entirely consistent with my right hon. Friend’s approach to engage with and listen to the views of right hon. and hon. Members. I am sure that he will be able to give me the assurance that I seek, namely that that scrutiny will be informed by Lord Carlile’s thoughts and views about the definition of terrorism. It is the current definition in relation to the glorification clause that has caused many of us real problems with the current Terrorism Bill.
