Terrorism Bill

At many sites, it is clear where the fence is but not clear who owns, controls or occupies the land immediately outside it, so one could easily end up criminalising people for taking part in a legitimate and peaceful demonstration. Will the Minister clarify that? Does the Minister acknowledge that there is a fundamental difference between somebody trying to enter a base with a terrorist intent to cause damage by explosion or other means—not to mention the damage that would be caused by nuclear weapons being exploded anywhere—and peace protestors whose whole raison d’être is to stop the use of nuclear weapons and not to cause any damage or violence?
