National Security Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 November 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on National Security Bill.

The Minister has accurately described what the two different tiers of the FIRS scheme will do, but it is difficult to understand why the registration of harmful activity outside of political influencing, such as covertly acting as an intelligence officer, only applies to a foreign power that is set out in secondary legislation. Surely, if that activity is wrong, it is wrong whether the country is on an as-yet-undefined list or not.
