moved Amendment No. 129:
129: Schedule 7, page 95, line 30, leave out ““a member of Her Majesty’s Forces”” and insert ““—
(a) a member of Her Majesty’s forces,
(b) a member of any of the intelligence services, or
(c) a constable,””
The noble Lord said: On Report in the Commons, we added the police and members of the security and intelligence agencies to the new offence to be inserted at Section 58A of the Terrorism Act 2000 by Clause 83. The result is that the Armed Forces, police and members of the security and intelligence agencies will all now be protected under this offence.
A corresponding consequential amendment should have been made to Schedule 8A to the 2000 Act but was not. Schedule 8A makes provision to ensure that the offence complies with the e-commerce directive in so far as it applies to internet service providers. The amendment corrects the earlier omission of this minor and consequential amendment on Report. I beg to move.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
