Terrorism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Terrorism Bill.
My hon. Friend makes an excellent point. I think that it was addressed to the Home Secretary, and I look forward to his providing clarification. The Government and the Home Secretary claim that they do not intend the term ““glorification””, as a sub-clause to the definition of ““indirect encouragement””, to be used in an unduly lax or imprecise manner, so there appears to be agreement on that, at least. If so, the amendments before us deliver precisely what they want. They also include the refinements described by the hon. Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve), which extend the wording to encompass listener, reader or viewer. There is simply no reasonable reason or excuse left for the Government not to abandon the Prime Minister’s stubborn, ill-judged obsession with the word ““glorification””.
