Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill

We support the concerns that have been expressed by the noble Lord, Lord Paddick, that, under the wording of this Bill, a person could

potentially be deemed to have committed an offence even though they were pursuing a legitimate business or activity, or, in the case of a designated area, simply by entering the area itself. That specific issue is addressed in Amendment 15, to which the noble Lord, Lord Paddick, referred. As I say, we support the concerns expressed about the extent to which people with legitimate business or activity could potentially find that they have committed an offence under the provisions of this Bill.
