Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill

I am slightly confused. The Minister says that the Government intend to enforce zero tolerance of criminal behaviour. Then, under pressure, he says that it must be taken account of in the round, which does not sound like zero tolerance to me. The irony is that I can see a case for not enforcing zero tolerance, but once again the Government seem to be saying two different things—they say zero tolerance in the Chamber, but they say nothing of the sort in Northern Ireland.
