Terrorism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Terrorism Bill 2005-06.
My hon. Friend is right. I will not comment specifically on the placards used in that demonstration, because the matter is being considered by the police and prosecution authorities, and it is entirely possible that they were illegal under existing legislation. However, placards with wording that is not illegal under existing legislation, but which would be illegal under the proposals, may have been used. Irrespective of that important distinction, the Lords amendment excludes anything visual such as a placard or, rather more significantly, websites. Some websites disseminate the glorification of terrorism, but they are excluded from the Lords amendment.
